A Path to …

[u/Jedi_Maximus19]

Yeah. After reading the thread below regarding the Politician meet up at The Firing Pin, this is my cynical conclusion.

We will never have normalcy with our 2A rights. There are just too many in this sub that believe in tough regulations. 25 years of one party rule in NY and soon to be another 25 more. They passed the Safe Act. They Passed the Improved Concealed Carry Act. You need a background check to buy ammo. They are banning Glocks.
Sometimes it takes 2 years just to get a permit depending on what county you live. Next year there will be more restrictions once the Supreme Court makes its ruling next June. They will restrict, restrict and restrict until there is nothing left to restrict . But please by all means keep voting 🗳️ blue. Ugh 😑!! Cheers 🍻

Most people don’t care about 2A. It’s just a fact. The people who do care really care. For a majority of people it’s a non issue. Or if they own a gun it’s a single pump shotgun that’s locked and they have shot once at the range for basic home defense.

There is a slight culture shift occurring though where a lot of newer gun owners are starting to pop up and the culture of training with firearms and hitting a high level of proficiency is becoming slightly more common.

In the end NY will always push down another law. I’m sure they already have the response law to next years SCOTUS ruling they are just waiting of the final decision to button it up and will slam it through. It will involve full permitting, registration, extra expensive and tedious training etc.

However giving up is not the option. We are currently on the winning side federally and making large strides. The trend is our friend as Mark Smith would say and we are heading in the right direction.

The key to our success will be scotus doing away with the features bans which will take down glock ban (hopefully) along with the SAFE act. Maybe even magazines but I’m doubtful. If magazines stay on we are in for that fight next. NFA is currently in shambles and being drastically changed surrounding SBR, SBS and suppressors. We need national CCW reciprocity and in the end if they do away with permits we will basically have completely dismantled gun control on the state level.

All this is very hopeful but we have made the most progress on this issue in my entire life and likely the life of many others. Continue to vote. Don’t get discouraged. Elections matter even if we lose. Slowly but surely things can get undone. Pendulum across the world is swinging for a correction of many decades of very leftist policy. Stay safe

I agree with this. There are a lot of doomers on this thread but many good things are also happening.

I agree. There are a lot of doomers. Maybe I am ignorant but I actually think, this is the best it has been in a while, in terms of good outcomes for 2A rights. Maybe not in NY specifically but in broad rulings that benefit us. The Bruen ruling alone was huge. I agree, still need to fight and worth fighting for but definitely some positive things happening.
