reading that this would mean anyone selling on TBH or other websites like this would fall under "commercial" and require background checks. this is complete and utter gun grabbing bs.

Compare this to buying a car. When you buy a car, you are not required to have a license, but in order to use it on the road, you must have it registered, and the driver must have a license.
This bill reads like you have to have a drivers license in order to purchase the car, but you don't need to register it. I don't see it as a gun grab, but I do see it as one more headache to deal with when selling guns.
My analogy probably isn't perfect, but it's close.

Nowhere in the constitution does it guarantee you the right to own or drive a car.
Owning a firearm is guaranteed and protected by the constitution. Comparing it to car ownership is apples and oranges and not a good argument.
Having to register your religion and have a license to go to church would be a better example of a parallel requirement.
Regardless, noncompliance is going to defeat most of these rules, and the ONLY way that universal checks WILL work is with a national gun registry and GOOD FREAKIN LUCK with that.
Anyone on here plan on bowing down and filling out the form that they'll send out with make, model, serial number and caliber of everything you own?
Not me.

People in rural areas may have to travel hours to get to a person licensed to do background checks and therefore will not do it.
We cannot have citizens conducting background checks on other citizens without violating peoples medical privacy rights.
