See the problem is not reading and comprehending English. Your English is fine, the problem is truthfulness. If I took what you have said about background checks as Gospel, I would agree with you.
Unfortunately, most people have seen how self enforcement works out in practice. The privatization people are mostly Republicans.
The sellers in gun shows are already responsible for AT LEAST checking I.D., but many don't do it. Now we are supposed to trust them to have super secret background checks done.
