Background checks should be applied to all private firearm sales in the US.

Thank you for accepting! I"m hoping that you"ll be able to critique my ideas, so I can have the best ideas possible on this topic. Just to clarify, the burden of proof is shared by both pro and con as pro (myself) should show that background checks be applied to all private sales and the con should prove that background checks should not be applied to all private sales. The reasons I believe that background checks should be applied to all private party transactions are as follows: 1: it is justified to take the second amendment away from some individuals. Usually, on the grounds that they will harm others. (IE prisoners in prison). I don"t think this discussion will be about the second amendment and to who it applies, but I"d just like to outline my train of thought. 2: from what I understand, there are people that would acquire weapons for malicious purposes. For example: people that are recently realeased from prison, that have homocidal mental problems, or that have a recent history of criminal violence. Although this is not a perfect or even adequate list of people that shouldn"t be allowed to posses a gun, I believe there are people that are in society, that having a gun could do more damage to society than good, although I believe possessing a gun definetly is a positive in a society. 3: the most reasonable way to keep firearms from those that are dangerous to society, would be to assure that anyone who purchases a gun must go through some form of a background check. There may be other solutions, and I am super open to discussing them, but I think background checks could be a simple, and effective way to accomplish this, namely for the following reasons: 4. Implementation of private party transactions would be relatively simple. When a person goes to purchase a firearm from an FFL, a background check is undergone. (From what I know, this applies to virtually every FFL) the gun store takes information from a potential buyer (name, city of birth, date of birth, optional SocialSecurity number if customer wants to provide to avoid misidentification) and calls a government number that connects them to the NICS (national instant criminal background check system. If I"m not mistaken, it"s an attachement within the FBI). There, the NICS quickly Tun the information through their system, and get either a red light, green light, or yellow light (yellow means wait 3 days and if you don"t hear back, go ahead and sell). It"s that simple. I propose we make the NICS number available to the public. So, if i sell my gun, i can input the buyers name, city of birth and date of birth by phone, or as simple as a Cell Phone apliccation or internet website that will then give me just a green light, red light, or yellow light. Then, we make it a law that you have to verify someone is able to purchase a gun before a sale. Now you may be thinking that could be impossible to enforce, but In the vast majority of states, you already have to be sure the buyer is a resident of the same state before a sale, and that is equally difficult to enforce, but still provides a felony charge behind someone illegally acquiring a weapon. As you can tell, I"m not trying to argue with you, but am mainly looking for critiques on my thoughts that I"ve had so far. Sincerely, thank you for accepting, and hopefully we can find a solution together.
