Few things:
FFLs don't have access to NCIC data in the stolen database.
There is no federal registry of stolen guns. There are multiple local repositories for stolen guns (and other stolen items) information and a federal system that lets you query all those various databases simultaneously. This is an important distinction, as no one entity controls the entry of information.
Being handcuffed is not being arrested. "Knowingly and intentionally" still applies, and 8 years later proving the guy knew it was stolen is probably impossible UNLESS he was named as a suspect originally, it was stolen from his ex-wife or someone he had an existing relationship with, etc.
