Universal checks won't have any impact on criminals. For the most part they steal them, buy them from an illegal seller of guns or use a straw purchaser. A straw purchaser is usually a family member or significant other who isn't a prohibited person. This person legally buys the gun and completes a background check, takes possession of the gun and then gives it to the prohibited individual. How will a universal check counter that?
