That presumes some things. Which we don't know as the language is in flux.
Currently, a NICS check* only occurs in those States which are not POC (Point of Contact), and for only those occurring at an FFL.
We here in Fla are a point of contact state which mandates all checks go through FDLE.
Now, a person living in rural Wyoming, might have to cross the state just to sell a firearm to his neighbor. Which will mean having to find an FFL who will agree to be an intermediary, and that both parties are willing to pay such fees as the FFL is inclined to charge.
We don't do face to face private party transfers. Not sure how many other ffl's in my area feel the same way about it. Also unclear is how they'll integrate this with waiting periods. Will they apply? Will we have to hold onto the gun during the waiting period? Can we charge for holding onto the gun?
Whether Congress has the authority to regulate sales/transfers of specific personal property is a different and larger question.
Oh yeah, forsooth and verily!
*Federal NICS is nothing but a blacklist meant to be all the known Prohibited Persons, if a person's name is not on the list, they get a Proceed. It's not actually a 'background check' in the sense that an actual person checks all the possible databases and returns a result of that research.
And we all know how long it took a certain senator to get off of the no-fly list.
