"the real issue is that any gun control suggestions are opposed by the NRA"
That's ONE issue, not THE issue.
Other issues are the fact that Democrat politicians (who take money from Hollywood the way that Republicans take money from the NRA) are opposed to curbing the violence we bombard our kids with. Democrats tend to oppose policies that encourage "traditional" family values, which like it or not, will reduce gun violence (maybe not mass shootings, but garden variety street crime).
Nothing gets done because each side is too beholden to special interests.
Gun control is one of a handful of things that are driving this. School safety, mental health protocols, etc...
