I like the concept in general; the issue is, as you suggest, that it would take a huge number of people's buy-in.
The original Camp David comprised three people, leaders of their respective countries. The modern gun-centered version would require congressional leaders from both houses and both parties (and various fringe coalitions) in addition to representatives of law enforcement (state & federal), sociologists, psychologists, medical and legal experts, etc., to develop a meaningful plan that might actually move the game forward.
It could be done. It would require a president that - like FDR - was willing to talk directly to the American people and apply political and moral force to congress to get any significsnt laws passed.
Clearly, only one of the current candidates has that ability. Whether or not she has the willingness is an open question. Maybe not this term, but the next?
