Congress returns Monday, April 8, 2013, from a two-week spring recess with gun control and immigration high on the Senate's agenda. Short of unanimous support in their own party, Democratic senators have been unable to strike a deal with Republicans for the votes they will need to push background check legislation through the chamber. Reid might delay debate to give bargainers more time, underscoring how crucial the proposal is to the gun control drive. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)
