I think it would be possible to make better restrictions on gun sales based on age, background checks,etc; make that information available publicly so that locals could protest. If you build an addition to your property, all your neighbors can protest. Why not same with th guns? But the discussion is so politicized that any step in direction of the “other side” will be opposed. I don’t have a good advise here. For the Dems who are righteously worked up here, maybe they can focus on, say, Chicago which I believe has good gun controls, and make sure that it becomes yir shalom. Then, after you figure out all deails of how to do that, other states will copy the experience. When R-s were able to clean up NYC, it definitely affected politics.
