Two points. First, by then, the damage is done. Frankly, it would be best prevented in the first place.
Once they take your rights, You do not get them back. At least not since 1934. (Remember, the AWB was a rare exception--the only gun control with a sunset clause).
Second:
I would love to have the faith in the SCOTUS some here have, but who would have thought emminent domain meant for the government to sieze your property so someone else could tear down your perfectly good house to put in an upscale mall and condos because the public would benefit from the higher tax base? (Kelo).
So, until the decision is handed down and carved in stone, I'm not going to put all my eggs in the Court's basket, either. Firearms I can purchase here with no permit to buy run the gamut. Because I hold a Concealed Carry Permit in my state, there is no hassle and I leave with my firearm the same day. Any firearm I can afford, anyway (Still saving up my pennies for Class III).
So, by the standards of 'us hicks', Mass. gun laws are draconian. A compromise like that here would have resulted in a recall campaign.

Ofcourse, we should elect members of Congress who are strongly pro-gun.
But we can roll back gun control laws as well as we have recently done.
Frankly, more heat has to be put on the NRA to stop compromising over these issues.

Yes, but the states have been doing very well in passing pro gun legislation.
We have most states with a right to carry law.

I agree, that law would never fly in pro-gun states, but if the people of that state want it that way it is up to them.
As long as the gun laws aren't made federal, and left up to the individual states, I see no problem with dealing with them as such.
Now, hopefully, the SCOTUS might actually rule in our favor and overturn all of the anti-gun laws in those states as being unconstitutional, which is what happened in DC.
But the point is that any GOP President is better on this issue then any Democrat and as gun owners we cannot afford to let the Democrats regain control of the White House and we need to regain the Congress.
