I apologize, as I am the one with Egg on my Face now. The House Judiciary Committee has indeed approved an amendment a couple of days ago that would make it a Class A Misdemeanor crime if the gun is later used in a crime.
It looks like this bill is indeed being used to modify SB 941. Since the Senate did not approve this new amendment, this new language will have to go back to the Senate to be approved there again too.
Sorry, I am the one that is clearly mistaken, and you do appear to be correct about this. I did not dig deeper into the fine details, and look at this latest amendment from the past week. But I found it here at this link. Look at pages 4 and 5 to see this provision:

Perhaps you will be right about the future. Come August 8th, no one will be selling their guns to other private people anymore.
It looks like the Antis are trying to quietly slip this in via this amendment. This claim sounded so outrageous when you mentioned it, that when I saw nothing in the bill about this, I assumed that you had been given some bad information.
I guess that we should not really be surprised, though.

No worries, water under the bridge.
I do hope it doesn't pass in that form though. As I said before, if it does, I'll likely be done with private sales at that point. And that's a real bummer
