[2A] needs to be infringed to protect the public from the actions of a small, extremely dangerous minority that exploits their rights to obtain weapons capable of killing a lot of people really fast.

I think we should keep the 1934 NFA, '68 GCA and some parts of the AWB and other acts.

If our culture's that violent, maybe we should look at some stringent gun control.

The Second Amendment is already restricted, for good reason. A private citizen has no business owning some military-grade weaponry.

Based on what I have read, I am not convinced the OP "lost passion" for 2A. IMHO, perhaps it was already gone.
Like many hobbyists who pursue fishing, golf, etc., the saying of "Worst day fishing is still better than best day at work" rings true for me. I enjoy my hobby of shooting/reloading as it is fun and relaxing for me and my family. For me, passion for 2A and RKBA is preserving my hobby which gives me happiness and joy out of life.
Rocketmedic, like you I spent most of my working decades in health care/related fields and seen people die. It is not pleasant when it happens but death is simply an inevitable part of life as no one will get out of this life alive. I myself have faced death twice and feel I am living on borrowed time. I think death reminds the living to live the life we still have.
For whatever the reason, if you feel you lost the passion for the 2A, that's your choice. We all have that choice. Just because there are countless deaths from car accidents each year doesn't mean I need to think about car accident deaths every time I drive my car. Instead, I focus on the road and traffic. If you got into shooting as a hobby, you can still pursue your hobby without thinking about "gun control" issues. When I go to the range, it's "me" time where I get to de-stress from life's stressors and practice some range drills. You can choose how you approach your hobby.
As for me, I will support the 2A like I support the 1A - absolutely!
