The solution is to spend the next generation progressively rolling back gun ownership in the USA. The problem with enacting such a solution is that the debate has been very effectively framed by the likes of the NRA as an issue of personal freedom and the very definition of what it means to be American. The protesters need to re-take control of the national identity before they can effectively influence the gun ownership policies that flow from it.
