The collection of issues which define the left and right in the US will be ephemeral. Maybe guns will become irrelevant in the future of drone vs drone warfare, and the concept of owning arms will transform in a way we can't imagine.
But insofar as some political groups believe in some rights as absolute, then the primary policy knob available will be the punishments which occur for the abuse of such rights, which must be a line drawn far away from any ambiguity. So you should be able to own as many guns as you want up to the point of murder, after which we punish you very hard. Things like background checks, licensing, and fees are than seen as morally hazardous slippery slopes. Legal leniency during sentencing will be seen as corruption and abetting crime.
