I think I can actually see the logic in trying to require FFL's to do the checks. I'm guessing that one objection to mandatory background checks for private sales is the difficulty (and potential cost) of having the checks done. So the requirement, and max cost, were probably added to the legislation to address that concern.

Of course I still can't see the logic in forcing FFL's to perform this service, especially since they aren't licensed by the state.
