Pretty much the only Actual two way Compromise on guns = FOPA, 1986
We recieved : End of Federal ammunition logs , mail order ammo , wide lattitude for Rifle & Shotgun sales for residents of most states, from FFLs in most states , and fairly good protection for transporting thru anti gun jurisdictions .
We gave : Full Autos thrown under the bus .
In hindsight we can debate the merits of the compromise , but it was an actual two way Compromise .
********************
Meanwhile ; None of the above debated compromise strategies, aka active participation stratagies is intended for, or able to produce * Victories * . The best and highest possible outcomes are to slow the rate of our defeats , in exchange for conceeding defeate from the start .
Kind of similar to the joke that starts with a woman agreeing she would sleep with ( a then in his prime ) Robert Redford for a million dollars , and the punchline involved negotiating prices .
Is negotiating the terms of your surrender a wise & worthwhile thing to do ? Sometimes , possibly usually . But still inherently surrendering , and not a * Victory " .
