The Question:
Comparing the current year to 1990, do you think American Firearms Owners are better or worse off? Speaking purely in terms of gun-specific issues
Please explain your answer if you feel so inclined.
(Note: we're not comparing 2005 to 1785, not commenting on general Constituational trends, what's happening in Australia, etc.)

I've only been into firearms since 1998, and a lot of things seem to have been improving in recent years.
+ Shall-issue CCW continues to expand and reciprocate
+ Vermont carry has spread to AK, perhaps WY, maybe later MT and UT
+ SB 397 is looking good
+ A huge marketplace of good-quality modern firearms
+ Increased interest in CCW, tactical shooting competitions, etc
+ Increased acceptance of "modern" weapons among pro-gun types
+ AWB rose and fell, doing minor annoyance but providing a great wakeup call
I look forward to hearing your comments, especially as many of you have seen these trends move and change since 1950. Thanks for your time,
