First off, no one wants this resolved. If the Supreme Court ruled tomorrow in definitive, overwhelming support of the 2nd Amendment, Wayne Lapierre would have to get a real job, as would a bunch of his opponents.
Second, how can their be "dialog and understanding" with a section of the country that wants us subdued? Stonewalling will backfire? Most likely, but the only thing that "dialog" has gotten us is a steady erosion of our rights. Do you realize that I've been hearing about this fight literally my entire life? For over forty years, dialog has gotten us nothing. When I was born, you could still buy full auto firearms. When my father was born, you could order a firearm in the mail from a newspaper ad. What will be left when my son reaches adulthood? The only gains I can think of (the shift to the idea of the 2nd Amendment as an individual right in the early 80s) came through legislation (shall issue carry laws) or supreme court cases (Heller), not through "dialog." Dialog has availed us nothing. All "dialog" has gotten us is "take the guns first, due process later," and red flag laws, along with "approved firearm" lists and magazine bans. Perhaps we should be grateful that, through meaningful dialog, those lists aren't shorter, or all semi-autos aren't completely banned. Yeah. What a victory.
The left is mounting economic pressure to drive the firearms industry completely underground. Banks and credit card companies are refusing to process lawful purchases of guns and ammo. The very LEAST we can do is to apply our own economic pressure. (I have no hope in success in this endeavor, but it's the right thing to do.)
