If this has to be temporarily tabled to get those, I'll grudgingly say ok.

The background checks gives us a point of sale control from which we can legislate and implement registration. Once we have registration, we can begin having a set of rules that actually impose some kind accountability on gun owners to protect the rest of us from their guns.

I don't like it, but I can live with it.
