Dale I more or less agree with you. Us pro-2A folk have had some successes (and setbacks, mind you) on the state level for years. Other than Heller, and later McDonald, not much of any big success at the the Federal level since the AWB sunset. In 2016 and shortly after some of us had hope of pro-2A laws being passed, or regulations repealed. Hasn't happened, but honestly I don't think it can in the current political environment. We should thank our lucky stars that enough congress critters are, in fact, "doing nothing" to prevent any major federal anti-gun law from being passed.
Edit: I do find a pretty significant win in the fact that former SCOTUS Justice John Paul Stevens penned an editorial in the NY Times stating we needed to repeal the 2nd Amendment. He actually plainly stated the reality in the gun control debate... while at the same time brazenly and very much mistakingly thinking that there is a snowballs chance in hell that 3/4's of the States could possibly go his way on the issue of the 2nd Amendment anytime this current century...
