As far as the sanctimonious advice to abandon gun control and face guru's brand of pro gun idiocy, not gonna happen. The truth will remain intact for those who seek it, even when egregious adulterations and distortions occur.
It was an honest statement about the current state of the RKBA/2ndA in SCOTUS with NYSRPA v Bruen, and the outlook for gun laws. How SCOTUS is going to rule is not in doubt, gun control states are in panic mode trying to rewrite their gun laws before the crap hits the fan.

guru: Do you really not know you are arguing a interpretation nobody attaches themselves to anymore?
Go look up the word 'nobody'.
Who besides internet message board blowhards like you, stuck in a 1987 time warp are arguing the "militia right" to defend gun laws?
When I say 'nobody', I mean nobody who's anybody, is arguing it in a court of law . . .
The lower federal courts have absolutely abandoned it, after Heller, the Circuit courts developed a SCOTUS ignoring "two-step inquiry" . . . Under this process, those lower federal courts first decide if the challenged law burdens / implicates conduct protected by the Second Amendment. If they conclude the law does infringe on the RKBA, they proceed to the second step, deciding how severe the infringement is and whether that infringement it is really worth worrying about.
No surprise, that question is always answered the same; NO PROBLEM and the court declares the gun control law is absolutely needed for public safety. They then proceed to invent creative ways to explain why the violation of the right must be allowed and they never fail saying the RKBA just doesn't matter -- their score for upholding gun control is an amazing 50 - 0!
This scheme is on death watch; that's why I was telling you to prepare mentally for gun control being decimated.
Have you been following what's going on with SCOTUS and NYSRPA?
Did you listen to the oral arguments?

The antigun activists on this site haven't the faintest interest in debating facts.
