the Second Amendment is one of the very few battles that conservatives, at least for now, have won, thanks to the NRA.

Try getting a handgun permit in your state. Try buying a rifle like the troops carry (or even a defanged one that shoots one shot per trigger pull.

We have "won" nothing. Losing at a slower rate than others would wish is not "winning."

"We have won nothing."

BS. State after state has passed concealed-carry laws in just the last few years. Will it happen in California? No, obviously not, because our legislature is owned lock, stock and barrel (so to speak) by the hard left. But the problem with concealed weapons permits has existed in California for a long time. It's not exactly new.

That is EXACTLY correct

Been there, done that. No hassle, but I'd prefer that we could exercise our right bear arms without such permit. Although my ugly black rifle is a larger caliber than the average US grunt carries.

Perhaps you live in the wrong state?
