The federal government would check things like your driver's record and criminal databases. They may talk to your neighbors and previous employers as well.

Can you find out when background checks were done when you bought a gun?

Any time you purchase a firearm from a dealer, Federal law requires that the dealer must run a background check at that time. The exception is that certain states issue a concealed weapons license that ALSO requires a background check- proof of licensing takes the place of a background check. So if you bought a gun from a dealer, you have had a background check made.
