Would you work to have a summit between pro and anti gun group?

Given the volcanic debate re: guns, it seems to be a good idea to have a "summit" with citizen groups, the NRA, and others moderated by the POTUS - common sense to me.

Will you move gov't away from meddling in an individual's affairs?
