    Public opinion does not equal policy, and what you’re effectively saying is that there is no negotiation possible. Moving an inch could lose you a foot, so no movement is possible.

    Don’t pretend that it is both sides who refuse to “negotiate”, when one side views any change at all as unacceptable compromise.

      Moving an inch could lose you a foot, so no movement is possible.

      I mean, this is a succinct description. You’re saying it as a criticism, but it makes perfect sense.

        Great. So everyone will just continue dying or being in fear of dying in mass shootings, regular shootings, and more. This will continue for the rest of time because one side is scared of making a positive change to the situation.
