I dunno what your perspective is, but the only "winning" in the last 40 years is to hold the loss of our rights to the current egregious level for now. We still have a ban on imported semi-autos. We still cannot legally purchase any full auto weapons made post 1986. We still have some shotguns labeled by the BATF as "destructive devices" We still have evil tyrants like Schumer, Feinstein, Mikulski, etc. introducing anti-gun legislation. We have King George II promising to sign any gun control that crosses his desk. The people whose guns were stolen by the New Orleand police haven't gotten them back yet and probably won't. We haven't won anything. We've just slowed the rate of defeat.
"just slowed the rate of defeat."
What about all the concealed-carry laws that have been passed lately?
I agree that gun laws in some states should be a bit looser in terms of what can be owned. But that's hardly the disappearance or imminent disappearance of the Second Amendment. And the fact that a few anti-gun nuts are still pushing legislation is not particularly meaningful. All kinds of people push proposed laws that go nowhere.
I've already said we need to remain vigilant. But we have limited time, money, and energy. There are battles we are clearly losing, and that urgently need to be fought.
Your defeatist attitude ignores the fact George Bush signed the Firearm Manufacturer's Protection Act. The NRA is also suing to get those guns back to their rightful owners without your help.
The NRA-Four million members doing the work 76 million gun owners are too lazy to do.
