"Hell, anyone with half a brain knows damned well that our core liberties have been under attack for decades. It didn't start with the Patriot Act, nor was it scarcely exacerbated by the Patriot Act."

I could not agree with you more.

Every treaty we sign with the UN is a direct assault on our liberties.

IMHO, the patriot act was nothing more than a government knee-jerk reaction to 9/11/01. A closer look at the Patriot Act would reveal just what you stated above, a continuation of assault on our liberties from years past.

So here's a counter-proposal: let's undo the entirety of the anti-Second Amendment laws and then we'll actually have some teeth to let the politicians know that We The People won't tolerate further abrogation of our rights.

When you get down to it, a government that's disarmed the people only honors the people's rights at its own pleasure.

...But when the populace is armed, the government moves against their liberties strictly at its own peril.
