Personally, I am fine with universal background checks, the problem with the whole idea is that the likely only way to enforce it is to have a gun registry. And gun registries generally lead to gun confiscation. We've seen it happen already in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when the police chief ordered his police officers to go door-to-door and confiscate people's firearms. We've also had politicians, such as Diane Feinstein and New York governor Andrew Cuomo, talk about gun confiscation. So we have politicians who would be willing to do it, if they had the ability.
It also is a complete affront to the idea of your fundamental right to keep and bear arms. It is not the government's business what guns you own unless they are a special type of gun such as an automatic fire weapon, explosives, or something like that. So overall, it is probably good that it died for now.
