Will we ever get around to crafting legislation that could work? IDK, not looking great at present.
When has it ever looked good? The most popular wave of gun control legislation of the 20th century was a response to black people toting guns in public.
We already have alot of gun legislation. I'd say it looked good as we crafted it, less so as we systematically de-fund enforcement and simply opt not to enforce. I tend to view our current position more as a product of laziness and political grandstanding than anything else. We don't really know what our gun problem would look like if we actually enforced what laws we have..but it stands to reason that it wouldn't look quite the same. I'd wager that it would look better, more solvable than it already does.
There are issues not directly related to guns that might also improve (or worsen) the situation, as well. These things (both direct and indirect) don't escape our notice, they simply escape us politically, which is what I'm referring to when I say that it doesn't look good at present.
