Again, the idea of a license/permit requirement everywhere (all states)
won't sit well with many people, especially since a background check is
usually required to obtain one in the states in which they are required.

The background check for guns is a federal law. (Brady)

It's imposed on federally licensed dealers only. Does not apply to
private sales.

There's no way to enforce private sales other than entrapment tactics.
Those take a lot of man power and are on legally shaky ground - a very
high price for marginal results. That's not how I want my tax money
spent.

If they are really interested, it is not that hard to pick the low
fruit. You could go after the dealers who do most of their business
with straw purchasers and the people who transport these weapons.
ATF knows what the last legal sale was and when that dealer pops up
too often, they could start there. When you start piling up 5 and 10
year sentences on the table, those dealers will cooperate.
