Gun Control & RKBA

For instance, I would agree to UBC's, national firearm safety and proficiency standards and training, and even greater national restrictions on open carry outside of situations like hunting. However, in return I would demand concealed carry reciprocity which totally preempts state and local regulation, similar to how a driver's license from any state is good everywhere in the USA.

Simply, I would ensure than any gun "safety" regulations are offset with reasonable and moderate pro-gun rights proposals. Any attempts at incrementalism would be thwarted because the legislative "balance" of gun rights would effectively remain the same.

Unfortunately, this is likely the same reason why gun control advocates would never agree. It's become readily apparent that many gun control advocates have made the perfect the enemy of the good, and don't understand that comprise actually means offering things that your opponent wants and cannot otherwise achieve. When the majority of the gun control camp realizes than wanting severe firearm restrictions, and willing to settle for slightly less severe restrictions, is not compromise, but demands for surrender, and particularly ludicrous when they lack the political capital or judicial strength to pass anything at all, maybe we'll be able to discuss effective means to reduce gun violence. I'm not confident this will occur any time soon.
