Why do people who are upset that the Supreme Court refused to hear the latest gun-rights case assume that any ruling would have been positive for the preservation 2nd Amendment rights? A negative ruling by the Supreme Court would make matters infinitely worse. Better that they stay out of it and allow 226 years of precedent stand untouched.

Amen!
If we do not want to face the agonizing option of having to go through it all again, we need to rally every intelligent person to the truth--not in the distant future, but here and now. The public is desperately out of touch with the American roots--completely ignorant of values which to the Founding Fathers were second nature. And this issue goes to the ultimate question or just who it is, who has primary responsibility for the American future--if we are to have one. (See The Right & Duty To Keep & Bear Arms.)
It is tragic that the Left has so fragmented the public perception of contemporary issues, that almost no one even sees the clear analogy between the dynamic psychological force which makes the Market Economy work, and the same psychology as reflected in the Founding Father's hope for an America of well armed and responsible households. If we could but get more to see that analogy, we would be a long way home towards bringing Americans with intelligence back to the rest of their now beleaguered heritage. It all flows out of a life view that was and is totally rational, and far and away the most effective vehicle for positive social progress, the world has ever known.
