I'm not against background checks, I lived in a state where they were required before the purchase of any gun and it was quick and inexpensive, but it was the gun store (a business) calling the state police to initiate the check. When someone can tell me how I, as an individual, can have a background check performed on an individual prior to a private sale I'm willing to listen. A mandatory background check before all sales would prevent and/or hinder private sales, and in some locales even passing a gun on to your children won't be possible without the check.
