That's inevitable. The make-up of the court will eventually change. Through attrition or through something far more sinister. What the the Republicans did, starting with refusing to allow Obama his rightful appointment of a Supreme Court justice, to their hypocrisy in nominating Justice Barrett, could easily happen in reverse 10 or more years down the road.
I think that's why it's important to get all of these unconstitutional laws repealed and to get as much legal precedent as possible on our side. We need to make it as difficult as possible for them to change things in the future, especially through the legal chicanery that they all embrace. Ideally, we want this issue to no longer be an issue so we can spend our time, energy and money on other things. As it is, this issue has us all fixed in a position of conflict. The last thing I want is eternal conflict on this one issue but there has to be a clear winner before we can move on and I think, at this point, that winner is clearly us. I think we have beaten them or, at least, their plans.
And so I guess I want to, metaphorically, hear them all screaming "uncle" repeatedly while tapping on the ground. And because "they" have so much history of attacking the 2A, I'll never be able to trust them in my lifetime but I would like the memory of the pain that their war caused to be indelibly etched into the nation's collective memory so that for generations to come, everyone will understand that fighting this 2A fight is a painful and ultimately futile endeavor that yields neither profit nor votes.
I still hear them talking about gun control as if they haven't received that message however. To my ears, they are not crying "uncle" so I guess we need to keep fighting.
