Ok, so your new background checks would not involve the seller at all then.
So, how does this change anything? How is it proactive? How would it prevent felons from purchasing firearms?

What am I missing here?

If I were required by law to provide a background check to complete a private sale of a gun between me and you, and I was not able to provide a positive background check by being a felon, would I be able to complete the sale and take possession of that gun? Yes or no?

What am I missing here?

If I were required by law to provide a background check to complete a private sale of a gun between me and you, and I was not able to provide a positive background check by being a felon, would I be able to complete the sale and take possession of that gun? Yes or no?

Who is running the background check? What legal responsibility is being placed upon the seller to verify that the background check is accurate, if the buyer is providing the documentation? Is the seller expected to perform the background check on their own? There are variables that make all the difference in the world legally.
