Even an FFL is charged a fee for each NICS check.

No, we aren't.
There are two problems with this.
First, the whole shebang is a solution looking for a problem. No significant percentage of crime guns comes from private sales between law-abiding individuals. The "loophole" is a myth, and a new law would only make things harder on those disinclined to break the law in the first place.
Second, it will present a burden to FFL's. I wish that transfers were as easy as people assume them to be. In real life, that's far from the case, and they're often a time-consuming logistical nightmare. Now, multiply that burden of time and payroll, and dealers will raise prices on all transfers.
