5. "Politics is the art of the possible" I can't see that happening. In fact, going for too much

...going for too much common sense over a short period of time would kill the whole thing.

We need a Grover Norquist style "starve the beast" strategy for this. Norquist hates government, and figured the best way to destroy it was to starve it by cutting its funding. Passing laws that repeal government power are high profile, and would face resistance. Instead, starving it for funds to the point where no government agency can actually USE or ENFORCE its power has accomplished the same thing while side stepping the political fight.

We need to find the 'pressure points' for gun safety issues. For example, Congress has passed law making it impossible for people to sue gun manufacturers for injuries sustained from their products. That went a long ways towards making the gun industry untouchable and immortal. Getting that reversed might be one place to start.

Another would be to go after ammunition. Stricter regulations on selling ammunition to people might be a place to start. Putting serial numbers on the bullet casings, so that you can trace who bought the ammunition would be a great way to cut down on gang-banger crime. (Gang and drug crime being a much bigger problem than sporadic mass shootings...)
