The hope would be to get to a place down the line where people don’t really care about whether they have the right or not.

To go back for a second: I really don’t like this wording because it worryingly reflects the attitude of the world right now. Complacency is scary, and we’ve given up so many rights as it is because of it. Nobody would say this about freedom of press or any of our other rights, but because some people don’t like guns, it’s okay to give that one up. I’m not down with that.

just continuing with this part. I completely agree with your concern about giving up something for perceived short term gain. I just really disagree that giving up guns will ever be something that we regret. I think this is probably the only real part we fundamentally have different takes on.
