There is only one threat and one choice that I see
The right to own and bear guns is legally entitled in the USA. This right results in a number of deaths each year that would not occur if the right does not exist.
As a democracy, America must decide and does decide if this right is worth these deaths... "gun rights" will be revoked when the people decide differently, or conditions force the state to take the decision out of the people's hands.

Those who are passionate about the right to own the means of destruction will talk of the right of self defence
Those of us who look in from the outside will wonder how a country that enshrines freedom more than any other finds it acceptable that it is a usual situation for a parking ticket to be issued at gun point.
