Right now, the way things are is not working.
The NRA has to stop acting like the second amendment gives us the freedom to own whatever armament we desire. We already have guardrails on what type of weapons someone can own. And people believing we're going to live in a gun free America need some professional help.
I suspect that the NRA would gladly agree to make fully automatic firearms, bump stocks, ghost guns, and large capacity magazines illegal if the government in turn would agree to draw the line there. No responsible gun owner besides Military or LEO’s has any functional need for those. The problem is that if the NRA were to give up those first lines of defense, there are those in the government that will endlessly keep trying to chip away at all firearms, including hunting, target practice, and self defense. Gun owners don’t want their hunting firearms to be the next first line of defense in the crosshairs of the government.
