By all means ask. Ask for anything. I mean you're not in the legislative department store where all the possible laws have fixed compromises (prices) attached to them. This is horse trading. The only real deal breaker is when ask for the moon and the other side takes that as an insult and stops talking.

Considering a semi-auto ban, now is that a "ban on new sales" or a "turn 'em in or go to jail ban"?
Between you and me, I'd ask for the letter "M".
