Policy arguments.
1.  Society should want buyers to choose to make their purchases through
dealers and undergo a background check.  Thus there should be no penalty
for the person who does so and FAILS the check.  They didn't get a gun that
day.
2.  The person to be punished severely is the person who makes a knowingly
false statement of a material fact and therefore PASSES a background check
they should have failed.  That person DOES get a guy that day by trick.
That should be stopped.

NOTE:  The person with a 45 year-old bar fight conviction, charged as a
felony in 1963 Texas, that resulted in a week in the County Jail, fine, and
probation, in not violation.  The recently released gang banger (free after
5 years on an Assault 1 conviction) who uses his twin brother's ID, is in
violation.  Just result in both cases.
