Makes it look like they're doing something about crime. Doesn't stop anyone from selling or buying them one, though, does it?

Private party transfers of anything can't really be forced to abide background checks. If you want to buy a used printer from your friend you can just buy it, not inform the government, and skirt any background check requirements.
