Requiring "Universal background checks" on private sales, according to the National Institute of Justice, involves one additional step: "Effectiveness depends on requiring gun registration." So that's the necessary next step.
The NICS law, passed in 1993, prohibits registration of guns and gun owners.
Congress has repeatedly rejected gun registration based on bitter historical lessons.
Just before the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Congress forbade gun registration and reaffirmed the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms based on how the Nazis used registration records to confiscate firearms from their intended victims.
Purportedly to fight street violence, Germany's Weimar Republic in 1931 decreed gun registration, but warned that the records must not fall into the hands of radical elements.
French newspapers regularly reported the names of gun owners shot by firing squads.
Maybe it's time to pursue real solutions to criminal violence and forget about a war on peaceable, law-abiding gun owners.
