Don't assume this is a dead issue. If the 2nd Amendment folks get sideways with law enforcement, and a gun battle ensues, that may be the trigger that finally turns the mildly anti-gun crowd as vehement as the pro-gun crowd.
I dunno, Dave, lotsa militia groups have done that, and nothing has happened. Did the murder of cops by black militants (well, mostly just random losers) turn you against BLM?
At the end of the day the 2nd Amendment is part of the Constitution, with centuries of case law behind it, and the only way to really get the restrictions you seek is with a constitutional amendment.
Which, you know, you don't really have the votes for. Sorry.
