Personally, I think I'd rather trade the 86 MG ban too, but I suppose we all have our pet issues. Unfortunately, this is how politics often works. You agree to my crappy bill, and I'll vote for yours, or at least not oppose yours. I think the important thing is that we give little ground if it allows us to take a lot. I think NICS database improvement would qualify as a little ground (though the Lautenberg crap has to go). If we can get something substinative for it, I think we should make the deal.
