How are you supposed to know who's a criminal and shouldn't own a gun without background checks?
This right wing argument is nonsense.

You can't, that is why there are background checks when you buy from a FFL. You fill out a government form and your ID and lack of criminal record is verified before you are able to purchase the gun.
If you're going to call something right wing nonsense, you should be properly informed because there definitely needs to be improvements, but you're claiming there are not background checks when that is false. This kid filled out a form 4473 and the FFL called it in and he had no criminal record or other flags.
If you want to argue that there should be a mental health check/exam or whatever and all private sales must be done though a FFL, then fine, but trying to assert that there are no background checks makes you look either uninformed or dishonest, which neither look helps you out any.

I'm not opposed to that, as I think there needs to be changes, but everyone has different opinions on what is and isn't necessary. Look at the post above this post. Doesn't own a firearm, but he knows exactly which arms a person needs in every situation.
