I think we need a very large tent public meeting, where you leave your preference (ideological) at the door and go in with an open mind to discuss both the current terrible situation of gun violence and the rights provided by the second amendment. A reasonable and considerate group would come out with a solution considering all the facts.
There are no gun ownership advocates who don't hate mass killing, and I don't think all so-called anti-gun folk are against any gun ownership.I am sure of that.
We need to leave the politicians in their mire where they are comfortable and get it done in spite of them.

For a compromise, both sides have to give something. If I come to you and say give me a thousand dollars and you say no, then I say OK I'll settle for $500. That is not a compromise.
That is what the anti gun crowd is trying to pull. They want to abuse the constitutional rights of gun owners. For it to be a compromise they need to give up some of their constitutional rights. Far in excess of 99% of all gun owners do not abuse their gun rights. Why should they be penalized for the less than 1% that do?
What the pro gun crowd wants is to address the real problems and not try to scapegoat us.
