Constitutional Carry is a battle that's going to have to be restored at the state level, one by one, at this point in RKBA history. We have seen the positive trend, and we need to keep it up, but the courts are not going to be the source of that restoration any time soon, and no amount of pounding fists insisting it be so "right now" is going to convince courts, or the sheeple. A good number of the states will need to get onboard with it to win enough hearts and minds to make it happen.
For now, these court wins are shifting hearts and minds around the country for support of "carry", period.
Do you really think that if only 10% of the states actually allowed carry at all, the courts would have come to the favorable rulings that they have so far? Not even. It’s a process of making "new norms" in the minds of the sheeple, then advancing the norm, wait, and advance it some more.
Pure RKBA wasn’t eroded in just a decade, and it wont be restored in just a decade either. As others have said, baby steps will be required, it sucks, but its a reality.
Gura is playing the long game, in a way that he sees he can win, calculating the least chance of catastrophic failure. So far hes doing a pretty damn good job in a very hostile environment.
So, give the man the credit hes due, and if someone thinks they can go do it better and faster, go and have at it, just be careful not to loose.
I see it going down like this over the next many many years...
1. Normalize "carry" in its various forms as the law of the land in all states & DC (almost there)
2. Normalize a "shall issue" standard as the law of the land (which it almost is)
3. Normalize national reciprocity as the natural extension of these "shall issue" laws (full faith and credit)
4. Push Constitutional Carry on a state by state basis until it becomes the typical model
5. Use the new "typical model" as the arguing point in the courts to force the hand of the hold-out states
The country is like a donkey, push too fast and\or in the wrong direction, and you're going to get kicked in the head. The key is making the donkey "feel" that the speed and direction you want it to go is the most natural thing in the world. This goes for the Sheeple too.
