I fully understand the precedents for the government establishing gun laws.Oh Sam! I can’t believe you think that is true. Time for you to google the history of the precedents for the government for establishing gun laws. Repeal of the NFA and GCA would most certainly not end “a legal basis for gun laws of any sort”. If you want to avoid Google, PM Frank Ettin.
As I don't ever hold the faintest hope of being handed a compromise that actually gives a danged thing back in exchange for more gun control, it was merely a humorous point to make.
Of course any new law that you got "compromised" upon us which said it would repeal NFA and GCA would merely then define firearms anew and set whatever terms the winning side (i.e: not us) wanted.
Of course, that is a moot point, just as our discussion here is purely moot, as no compromise is offered or will be offered, that says anything even close to any of those things.
