without those two, and quite a bit of settled law, the NRA wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

But we do have to be realistic about the laws we live under. Changing the constitution is what would be needed, and that's not going to happen. I wouldn't give the NRA much credit at all, and their biggest problem is that they have little reason to even exist anymore.
