The issue, in my experience, is that gun owners are lousy fucking voters.
When I used to work on the political side of things (local and state), you quickly find out that not all gun owners are friends of the 2A (I would argue that many gun owners are actually enemies of the Constitution), and not all 2A proponents are gun owners... We need more of the latter.
So, when it comes to eroding the 2A... The average voter DNGAF... so while people can sit in their "safe state" for 5, 10, 20 years, it's only inevitable until the cancer knocks on your front door.
