Is there any real difference in what you consider "contributing nothing" and doing something that has the opposite results of your goal?
40 years of rallies and letter writing and yet here we are about to have our rights stripped a little more ...
What's your breaking point Norton? when will YOU finally come to the same conclusion? When you're standing on your front lawn watching federal agents remove your guns from your home?
Mencken, Mencken....
Carry rights have been expanded, the 94 awb went away, we've won a bunch of victories in courts. Md put up some more 2a infringements, but overall, the 2a has been winning since about 1990. We suddenly hit a big blue dark spot and you're chicken little. What we've been doing has been working, we just need to do much more now given the political situation we're in. We stopped an awb after sandy hook during Obama. If we push hard enough, we can resist this too.
Chicken Breakfast.All they need to do is tax and regulate it more.
Have your1,000 tax stamp per gun yet? 1 dollar a round tax... Papers.. Papers...
Hoist the red flag. Black flags were yesterday
i'd unfortunately say Yes. Look at all the restrictions you have in Maryland. VA now lets cities and counties put in more restrictive gun/carry laws, no practical way to legally drive around in VA now. I don't think they're going to come and take them, but they're making it hard enough that less and less will want to use them. We've gone from guns in gun racks in the back of pickups at school, to being banned for eating a poptart in the shape of a gun. Sad.

2/3 of Congress proposes a Constitutional amendment. To ratify an amendment 3/4 of states would need to approve. I don't think 38 states would vote to abolish the 2nd amendment.
We can see the current playbook.
Every statement starts with, "No one is taking your guns, all this proposal is........"
They know that they aren't to the point of physically taking them from those that currently have them. There's virtually no one who has the stomach for what that would mean.
Just like the left has patiently consumed our country over generations, they will do the same here.
1. Steer belief systems of young people away from the concept of gun ownership.
2. Create a culture that demonizes gun owners as racist, bigoted, uneducated.
3. Limit opportunities for young people to interact with firearms positively.
4. Create barriers on the on ramps to new ownership.
5. Impose higher taxes on ownership.
6. Create inordinate storage requirements.
7. Drive gun ranges and clubs out of existence.
8. Prohibit the transfer of currently owned firearms, particularly intergenerational through wills.
All along, the can honestly say, "no one is coming to take your guns, all this does is....."
It depends on the courts and then it depends on the people. If the SC remains intact, the pres/congress can try pushing infringements, but the SC should strike them down. If the SC is compromised by court stacking, it should be a red line crossed to bring Americans off the bench.
