Senators Who Back Gun Control Looking For Ways To Bring Back Senate Background Check Bill
Bill was defeated last month

Among the changes they might consider are limiting the fees buyers would pay at gun shows, adding provisions dealing with the mentally ill and altering language extending the background check requirement to all online sales, senators said Tuesday.

How about you take a cue from the 47 ronin and commit seppuku on the Senate floor. It'd make your dedication clear.
As a compromise they will bend over backwards - as long as we are bending over forwards.
