Your right on there...the strategy seems to be “phasing out” the second amendment by stages. They can’t go on a gun grabbing spree without a massive backlash. But they can demonize evil “assault weapons”. They can tax ammo to the hilt, ban imports of magazines and gun parts, fiddle with storage requirements and “smart gun” crap. And we still might wind up with a second, permanent AWB.
The key to preserving the 2nd amendment is teaching young people what it means. We have to relearn this with every generation. Pry them away from the video games for a while and take them shooting. Guns are only scary if you have no experience with them.

The key to preserving the 2nd amendment is getting as many people involved in shooting as possible. And looking at the numbers, it could not be much higher.
