Probably the single most convincing thing I've seen so far in terms of making me scared about Trumps authoritarianism.

What dialogue could be had? Serious question. This is a demographic that reacts to the murder of a few dozen elementary school kids by stocking up on the tool used for the murder. The same demographic who is stocking up on bump stocks in reaction to their use to slaughter dozens in Las Vegas.
How does this dialogue go, exactly?

They don't follow the gun laws they already have, adding more will help how??

I agree with your conclusion - that the current gun culture precludes any meaningful action. That's why I'm so curious what dialogue Winchester thinks could be had.
You too easily let the NRA off the hook. Their constant fear mongering about gun grabs during the Obama years pushed gun sales to unbelievable heights. And its already inconsequential in terms of membership, yet remains one of the most influential lobbies today.
