Using guns to harm others IS ILLEGAL RIGHT NOW! So if someone uses a gun to inflict harm thye can be prosecuted for it "to the full extent of the law".

Criminals don't hesitate when breaking the law. Law abiding citesens don't hesitate either because they don't break the law.

Universal background checks gets in the way of my property rights and does nothing to stop criminals from committing crimes.

Universal background checks creates a paper trail that eventually leads a crime back to the source.

I don't see what the problem is.

You want to resell a gun, then do so. They just need a background check, as they would need to do with any other gun purchase.

"paper trail that eventually leads a crime back to the source"

What crime and what source?

If I sell you a gun and you kill someone with it, that's your crime not mine. Again I must explain that laws don't stop criminals. Criminals don't file paper work and honest people don't need the government in their lives any more than it already is. The last thing we need is the government using a gun registry, (paper work), to confiscate honest people's property.
