How would you know they're law-abiding without checking? That's the entire point of the background check.
In other words, you're assuming your conclusion, i.e. circular reasoning.
Your dogmatic faith in background checks rivals the Jebus freak' s faith that they will party with their invisible friend for eternity.
A background check only shows PAST behavior.
It will show you who has been a bad person - and we assume from that they will be bad in the future. Right?
So checking EVERYBODY - (and the vast majority will show up as good to buy guns. Right?) wastes the majority of the law enforcement resource.
It would be far better to simply make it possible for the average person to be able to access a list of potentially bad people.
