I'd wonder if a reasonable compromise would be for licensed ranges to have guns that people can toy around with, and not civilians themselves.

At the very least, a ban on semiautomatics and bump stocks sounds like it'd reach bipartisan appeal.

This already happens, actually. At the range I go to, you can rent fully automatic weapons and they'll walk it out with you, and for a non-trivial cost of usually $1/round, you can spray the range down. You can also rent a number of more conventional weapons to try as well.

I think you're assuming that Republicans are still capable of bipartisan compromise. You'll have to pardon my cynicism given recent history.
