Normalization is the key. The problem comes down to definition. The 2nd amendment refers to the “Militia”. People today do not understand what that meant. It was the armed Citizenry keeping us all safe. Men went around armed, even in town. As soon as people recapture that image, we win completely.

What? What is the evidence that the militia carried guns except on training day or when they were serving? I have just edited the journal of a Revolutionary War soldier and he sells his ammunition at the end of the campaign and he serves many more times. He is always buying and selling guns, but I see no evidence that he carries them in civilian life.
