Answer me this sincerely: Excluding words and a cessation of attacks, What does Kristoff offer? What would he allow people to do that they are not currently allowed to do?
I assume where you are going with this is that in compromise, both sides need to be willing to relinquish something. You're right, the more gun control side isn't offering anything other than backing off more draconian legislation that wouldn't pass Constitutional review anyway. So, essentially nothing.
What, then do you propose? Other than letting anyone and everyone buy whatever they want, which isn't going to happen.
