I think everyone sensible- from effusive gun enthusiasts to total gun abolitionists- would agree on a first, concrete step towards alleviating what is truly a crisis is to ban the AR-15. As you said, reasonable gun owners understand there is no purpose for it other than killing humans as fast as possible.

Gun control absolutists- abolitionists- aren’t poisoning compromise. In fact they’re desperate to get any kind of legislation or controls in place; they’re desperate for even incremental change.
It’s the “reasonable” gun owners (or rather, a significant portion of them) who buy into “slippery slope” arguments and who may support reform, but not loudly, and certainly not enough to vote out their “2A approved” representative.
Until they can find their voice and demand their congresscritter vote for gun control or throw them out if they won’t, nothing CAN change.
This is not a case of “extremes are dividing us”. It’s an apathetic middle who does nothing.
