There is absolutely nothing 'strawman' about this country having a 100% refusal about even discussing logical gun laws.  This is where we are and have been for decades.  

I am not a right-winger. I am not an NRA member. I vote straight Democratic and vote for the third of that party that prescribes social democracy when they are on primary ballots. I am a POC. My family are BIPOC. I still have concerns about gun laws because of how they are used to harm people who look like me and my family, even if we are non-gun owners, such as the examples I provided. I was genuinely asking about how enforcement of a ban would work without disproportionately harming people who look like me and my family, and you respond with a very yt perspective about hunting deer with no intentions of addressing these questions. So I guess you're keeping continuity with "having a 100% refusable about even discussing logical gun laws"? Any law is going to have to be enforced, and how that enforcement is going to happen is quite important in determining which gun laws are "logical." If you're not interested in discussing enforcement and the potential problems surrounding it, then you are part of the group who has a "100% refusal ... discussing logical gun laws." 

I think common sense gun laws include allowing people to own hunting rifles and home defense (e.g. shotguns).  First step is to acknowledge high powered 45 rounds per minutes high capacity mags simply shouldn't be readily available for the average person to buy.  Does this fix everything?  No.  But at least start with weapon type.
