But it's not so important that waiting a few days for a background check and registration should be removed.

And I'm tired of the idea of politically unfeasible but that's precisely why none of this will ever happen.  Confiscation. also, will never happen regardless of what the far right fears. The Constitution still exists.

Background checks don't take a few days though. They take a few minutes to hours.

The whole point about compromise is that there are some things that are important to one party but other things which can be horse-traded on. That is how parliamentary reprsentative politics works. 

What is the big benefit of registration that it is worth killing the other, more effective reform for it?

And it is not just the far right that is skeptical of registration. The guy who posted that proposal says he is a "liberal gun owner" and I am on the far-left, a proudhonian socialist.
