Since they're the same, keeping attacking even at range would have the same effect of having a gap closer. Thus giving every job tools to face every situation, while having their own flavor. So you could have two charges of "your next 3GCD have a 10y range".
You will have to either heavily reduce potency on the attacks from ranged as the gun blade isn't actually directly striking the target, or add new skills, to which GNB hotbars are already pretty full, or better idea, just leave gap closers as they are.

I don't want to see a nerf to PLD gap closer or the removal of GNBs because some random felt their perception is a good idea. I went SB without one and it was awful on fights like M/F, or fights with multiple pushback, that tempered will wasn't able to handle.
