I think people have given up. Our only real chance of having some of these laws repealed is Trump winning and appointing some pro-2A federal judges to the 9th Circuit and or SCOTUS.

It's not about hunting rights. It's not about the right to go to the range. It's WHOLLY about being on an equal plane with government, to keep tyranny in check. That is entirely what it is about. Checks and balances, and the US government works for us, not the other way around. If you don't think the 2nd Amendment was about being sure the people had the right to a military-quality armed resistance against its own governments' military, then you are clearly mistaken about what it means, about what guns are truly all about. They are weapons. They are not accessories to a hobby, they aren't tools, they aren't just so you can protect yourself from crime or armed burglars, they aren't merely for hunting, they aren't just for 3-gun sports or bulls-eye competitions. They can be used for those things, which is a nice by-product, but first and foremost: They are OUR weapons for defense against tyranny. .

I'm old enough to remember "Roberti-Roos" in 1989. Before social media we met in a public park, but as time went on the numbers dwindled. I think it's the uphill battle we face with no light at the end of the tunnel that discourages the majority of gun owners.
