Cities burned, shops looted, 2 Million illegals with no money and no skills flooding in, Fentanyl killing more young Americans, violent crime ticking up, and FBI raiding Trump and his associates.
As long as orgs like the NRA only care about politicians’ voting record on 2A we will continue to see degradation and capitulation on all other fronts
You forget there were marches on some suburbs that were turned away by armed citizens with no one getting shot. Local coverage but no big national stories. But with the internet you can see everybody's local coverage if you look for it, which I did at the time after a situation in my own vicinity.

A few years ago, I was questioning as to why so many people of all kinds should be carrying in public at stores and the like. I lived in a remote area then. After living in a more built up and populated area for a few years, I see more of what’s going on and know that many people around me are carrying. I’ve become accustomed to it and feel safer with the concealed carry paradigm now. Fewer criminals try to prey on anyone in a place with constitutional carry laws. Not so in states where concealed carry is prohibited.
It’s better than what we did in the past.
