"End of the Second Amendment"?

Oh, please. Admittedly, we always need to be vigilant about this. But the Second Amendment is one of the very few battles that conservatives, at least for now, have won, thanks to the NRA. There are many more issues we need to focus on.

Oh, please. All we have been able to do is hold them off for now. We haven't won until all barriers to personal firearms ownership in this country have been removed (even in California).

Which issues do you feel we need more focus on?

I agree. I saw this headline and thought I was going to find out about some new HUGH threat to the 2nd. A teacher writing an article in a newspaper. That ain't going to "end" the 2nd Amendment.

Try getting a handgun permit in your state. Try buying a rifle like the troops carry (or even a defanged one that shoots one shot per trigger pull.

We have "won" nothing. Losing at a slower rate than others would wish is not "winning."

I dunno what your perspective is, but the only "winning" in the last 40 years is to hold the loss of our rights to the current egregious level for now. We still have a ban on imported semi-autos. We still cannot legally purchase any full auto weapons made post 1986. We still have some shotguns labeled by the BATF as "destructive devices" We still have evil tyrants like Schumer, Feinstein, Mikulski, etc. introducing anti-gun legislation. We have King George II promising to sign any gun control that crosses his desk. The people whose guns were stolen by the New Orleand police haven't gotten them back yet and probably won't. We haven't won anything. We've just slowed the rate of defeat.
