Expanded background checks under the current system require registration. Without it, the expanded checks are toothless and unenforceable. Registration is a necessary first step for the very solutions they plan to ram down our throats whether we compromise or not.
After Sandy Hook, Sen. Tom Coburn tried to propose a background check that applied to all private sales and still protected gun owner privacy. That bill never even got a vote on the Senate floor. You think there can be compromise here. I think you are wrong. The day after your compromise, they'll be back for more.
On a related note,
I found this video of all the past gun control compromises. I think it sums up our prospects on future conpromises nicely.
