Property isn't property. You don't have to go through a background check to buy a package of socks. You don't have to pay annual taxes in order to continue to own your underwear. You don't register your toothbrush, nor need a license to mow your lawn.
Society has already decided certain forms of property are treated differently than others.
You don’t have to go through a background check to buy a firearm in most parts of the US (although you do to purchase a firearm from a dealer; private sales are largely legal).
Aside from NFA items, you shouldn't be paying a tax to own firearms, period. Can you imagine paying a tax to be allowed to go to church, or to abstain from going to church? Or, say, to vote?
You don't need to register a firearm in most places in the US. (Nor should you!)
You don't need a license to own a firearm in most places in the US. (Nor should you!)
The fact that society has, in some places, decided that the constitution shouldn't apply to them, is not a good answer.
