I'm subject to "real" background checks that take several weeks, involve interviews with plenty of people, criminal checks, credit checks, random drug screening, periodic psychological screenings, etc. I don't know what it costs, but I suspect it is more than the average gun buyer would be willing to pay. The term "background check" can mean many things.

Agreed, everyones definition can be different.
How about interviewing all new driver's friends to find out how much they text?
Random drug screening? Periodic psychological screenings? What's in your background?
Here there is an electronic background check via the state police, $2.00. Usually takes just a few minutes. Always takes a day for me due to an "issue", but I am able to purchase anything other than a fully automatic weapon.
If you jump through enough hoops and have enough money, you can get a class 3 (fully automatic) license.
