Nothing at all. But it depends on how practical you want to be. A lot of the NRA's strategy involves painting gun deaths in the US as this big, complex issue that you could never hope to tackle so why bother? But if you zero in on one element that people care most about, you pass real legislation aimed at it, and you're quantifiably successful at reducing it, then maybe that's something that, over a generation, begins to change attitudes about widespread gun control in the US.
