The strict law abiding, sane ones might. Exactly the ones that wouldn't commit a gun crime anyway.
Still a very good thing though.
For example, my cousin Frank has domestic violence charges pending against him (unbeknownst to me) and he wants to buy my hand gun. The universal background requirement will protect me as a law-abiding gun owner. Frank will either make an excuse not to fill out the background check form and drop the whole matter. Or, he'll fill it out and I'll discover via the NICS check that Frank is not legally able to own a gun before I put one in his hands.
