Checkmark, already law. Everyone must pass muster under federal rules to pass the background check. The federal guidelines are much more stringent than the state requirements in all the states but a couple.
Checkmark, already law. If your background isn't perfectly squeaky clean the federal government has up to 10 extra days to investigate you before you can walk out with any gun be it a long gun or handgun.

Comprehensive background checks.

Checkmark, already law and thanks to the recent deal between the NRA and the Democrats more information will be available when you apply to purchase a handgun or long gun.

And I would support the national registration of some firearms. Of course, at least I can understand the adversity to that concept. The other two that only contribute to someone's inconvenience in the process of acquiring a gun I don't accept. Tough shit.

Checkmark, already law. When you purchase a firearm the make, model and serial number is recorded on a form that includes your name, address and other personal information. The gun dealer keeps his copy FOREVER. One copy is sent to the state and another is sent to the BATF. The state keeps their copy FOREVER. I'm not sure how long the BATF keeps their copy but you can bet it's probably FOREVER also. I've also personally heard the dealer tell the person he's talking to on the phone during my background check the make, model and serial number of the gun I'm purchasing so somewhere there is yet another record of my purchase.
