For better or worse, I wouldn't be surprised if the "Second Amendment Issue" isn't brought to a head within the next 25-50 years.
That "head" will be a conclusive case/decision before the United States Supreme Court, which will rule one way -- or the other -- that _individuals_ do (or do not) have an explicit right to keep and bear arms.
If the RKBA _loses_, look for national legislation in the order of a "Gun Recovery Act" (out of "The Turner Diaries"). Would this provoke real shooting, or just a collective sigh as gun owners are forced to give up their weapons?
Just a thought...

I suspect that the attempted repeal of the 2nd amendment will come much sooner ... I predict that the first real attempt (which I believe will fail) will come during the term of the NEXT Democratic president. Other attempts will follow. I believe that the longer our schools are run by the dark side the greater the chance of the "collective sigh". However, I also believe that there will be a lot of resistance which will be addressed by the future tyrants on a one by one basis.
