White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said in an interview Tuesday that Senate Democrats' decision to introduce a gun control bill that doesn't include an assault weapons ban does not constitute a setback for President Obama's gun control efforts.

"We're going to work on this. We're going to find the votes," McDonough said, according to a transcript. "And it deserves a vote and let's see if we can get it done."
