When the legislative session is over, we/MSI should put up a score sheet on what was proposed and what was passed, especially given the distinct disadvantage that 2A proponents have in the MGA. Every year we hear this refrain discouraging activism, discouraging contacting legislators, and discouraging going to Annapolis to testify - because the courts are apparently the only way to effect change. Obviously once a bill is law, it's much harder to reverse course, thus the invested time to stop the enactment has great value (although in some circumstances one could argue that a truly atrocious law may have utility - but why take the chance). I don't think that those that argue against most everything but investing in court cases are being defeatists or are not being rational in their reasoning, but I think they lack data points to draw on to further inform their positions.
