Re: Can it be?: We may lose more gun rights under Trump than Obama?

Compromise: an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

"Our side" possibly concedes: legal age to purchase a rifle; bump stocks (and maybe other mechanisms to increase rate of fire); national reciprocity; elimination of GFZ's; due process for some folks.

"Their side" possibly concedes: ________, _________, _________, _________

I surely don't claim to understand political back-room deal making, but something seems to be missing in this equation.

Believe me, I feel as badly for the victims and their family and friends as anyone. But I think we here mostly agree that even if we gave up all the things listed above, those concessions would do little or nothing to prevent the next mass murder. So what are "we" prepared to give up the next time this happens? These and similar measures will not stop the shootings, so when will we have given up enough?
