It’s remarkable how much success we’ve had recently.

If you’d told anyone in 1969, or even 1993, that in 2009 we’d have defeated bans on handguns and assault rifles, instituted shall-issue CCW in 44 states, and seen a Supreme Court decision handed down that at least nominally upholds the individual rights interpretation of the Second Amendment, it would have sounded like fantasy.

Really, there’s rather little left to accomplish. If we got CCW in the last few holdout states, nationwide CCW reciprocity, a good decision in the current Chicago case that incorporates the Second Amendment against the states, and a return to the pre-1986 machine gun rules, then I would rest easy.
