The whole gun control should be formulated as „sane regulation of gun ownership and sales“. Focusing on illegal guns instead of law abiding gun owners might be a good choice as well. Assault weapons ban and similar are ineffective window dressing policies.
Half that is more realistic. You have to sleep, rest, eat, buy supplies, get lost, etc. There will be bad terrain, mountains, bad weather, etc. as well.
It appeals to the average Joe worker.
