The background checks and whatever are not for the criminals who are caught with them. They are for the criminals who pretend to be law abiding citizens while buying them.
And that's why we have so many straw buyers. The new "Are you buying this gun for yourself? question could weed out a lot of people, if they would only tell the truth. If they're willing to be a straw buyer, they're already breaking the law, but the gun(s) need to be found in possession of a criminal and/or recovered during the investigation of a crime in order to connect the dots.
