I agree that doing nothing is not a good solution. However I think it needs to be made absolutely clear that without question the goal is not to ban firearms or confiscate them. Democrats have done a really, really bad job of communicating this. You got a lot of people who are out there claiming that the 2nd amendment is meaningless. And that the government be able to ban all guns. Those are the people who are provoking this battle. They are the ones that fuel the NRA. They are the ones that provoke the "preppers" to go out and stockpile on ammo and assault rifles.
If the Democrats would come out as a party and say they support the 2nd amendment as a right for the people to keep and bear arms. I think you would have a lot more cooperation to pass sensible gun control.
