Simply because they would go too far. Background checks and mental health checks are ok with limits. You simply cannot tell someone who has ever battled with depression they cannot own a firearm or even someone who has been arrested for a non-violent crime. You would be banning firearms from most of the country. There are stricter laws preventing someone from holding a TWIC card than a firearm. So yes, more restrictions should be in place within reason. The problem is, that the government has no clue what "within reason" means.
