Background checks on private sales, by themselves, are unenforceable. You can't enforce background checks on private sales without knowing what guns are out there, and you can't do that without registration, and registration is just the opening act of confiscation.

Background checks on private sales are just the gateway drug to bigger and bigger infringements on our rights.

I don’t know. Gubment is pretty sneaky...

Pass a law requiring all gun sales have a background check. Seller advertises a gun for sale. Undercover ATF agent buys it without the required background check. Seller is arrested and goes to jail. More sales and arrests occur. It would get pretty hairy selling guns without the check.
