“I want to change it so that somebody who has a gun and wants to sell a gun can know they're not selling a gun to a criminal or somebody not mentally impaired.".

That's fine and dandy as long as it's not mandatory. I might use such a service just for peace of mind, especially if it were free. But make it mandatory or require recordkeeping and that's where it goes wrong.

That's about as far as I'm willing to go in going toward any infringement on the Second Amendment. … I'm not going to infringe on any of our rights guaranteed under the Constitution, period.”"

That's a bit of a contradiction isn't it? "That's about as far as I'm willing to go". Then says "I'm not going to period". Any infringement at all is just that. Infringement.
