Divide and conquer. Separate hunters from shooters. Make them two classes, and appease the hunters while attacking the shooters. I've known lots of hunters who support "common sense" gun control measures like AWB, capacity limits, waiting periods, etc. Cater to those hunters, and you'll be able to sell the bill as one being supported by gun owners. General public hears that the bill is supported by gun owners, and they'll follow right along. Those who oppose look like the fringe extremist, and get set aside. Good strategy if the hunters and shooters let it work.
