1. For licensed handgun carriers, background checks have already been done. The author/sponsors of this bill - likely Dimocrats (spelling intentional AND more accurate) are aware of this. But what it all fits into is the "back door" registration efforts on the part of these people.
(2) As we've seen in history, gun registration is the natural precursor to confiscation. I only have two (2) firearms that I bought during the Brady Bill fiasco; all others were acquired either through inheritance or private sales, which of course this bill's language makes it plain that "private sales" are the target. Lots of verbiage about Gun Shows, but like so many other laws, its scope will be extended over time.
(3) Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.

Call me suspicious, but in today's legal environment, it pays.

I guessed right; just looked up the bill's author: Rep. Ron Reynolds - (D)

It includes an exception for LTCs and cops.
