It prevents him from buying guns from any dealer ANYWHERE and it prevents him from legally possessing ANY firearm. Oh...wait...you are one of those people that swallows the "gunshow loophole" argument...arent you.

He can still get a gun but not legally.
The gun show loophole is in the minds of anti gun people and fueled by people like CT. Senator Murphy and others.
True, universal background checks can only be fully effective if all firearms are registered. Also true that considering the fact that there are about as many firearms in the U.S. as people (nobody knows for certain exactly how many) and there is no way to ensure all owners would 100% comply if a nationwide UBC was initiated, a 100% registration just isn’t going to happen. However, none of that means/proves a nationwide UBC system directed toward all firearms sales going forward would not be beneficial. The process is inexpensive and very quick. My last check took literally less than 5 minutes. And as for the “less than 10” count, I have two responses: 1. The number claimed is dubious. Statistical reports from different groups/organizations state both more and less people apprehended. 2. Even if the number combined between two states only came to ten, that’s still progress. Bottom line, IMO, there is much room for improvement on this issue and beginning with a mandatory background check going forward is a good place to start.
How many rounds per minute can a shoulder mounted rocket launcher fire? How many rounds per minute does an M60 fire? How many rounds per minute can an M1 Abrams main gun fire? Doesn’t matter because Congress has already said private citizens (with very, very few exceptions) cannot own any of them in fully operational condition w/ammunition. There are plenty more examples, but you probably get the point now. The whole “shall not infringe” argument was busted long ago.
