Ah, I should have specified federal background checks, because that's what I meant. Agreed otherwise on most parts...

Actually, the Federal government CAN institute background checks under the clause providing the power of Congress to discipline the militia. So, no, background checks are not uncnstitutional.
'Cept this one. How do you figure? Congress (part of the federal government) cannot infringe upon the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms. No exception is made to that. Background checks are not related to disciplining the militia.
