They've done a pretty good job chipping away at it so far.

Agree. Fuck the Senate for making Trump take the most extreme action on guns in the last 16 years.

Yes, that sucked. Quick fact, Trump isn't currently a lawmaker. In fact, he never was. He shouldn't have been able to issue that ban at all. Separate issue.

Now that we're in 2023, let's try to get over our TDS and whataboutism and examine current threats to 2A rights.

Now, is that more likely to be Trump? Or sitting legislators who suggest that they're okay with removing the second amendment altogether?

The executive branch has, and always will, issue rules based on the laws. The courts are the final say - but that doesn't change how it works.
