I grew up in the 90's in a "fudd" type household where "them banana clips are illegal" and "that ain't good for hunting" mentality. It is a very selfish and ignorant way if thinking, at least through a "freedom oriented lense".
Looking back at old publications from the 50's, 60's, 80's, 90's from online archives... You can perception and acceptance shifts regarding the '68, '86, '94 gun bills.
Basically compromising gains nothing. It just rationalizes losing rights. The gun laws only take and take and take.
Back in the day, those compromising attitudes only lost rights that we've never regained. And it won't end. The same debates have been published since the 50's from what I've read online (and probably since the invention of the sword).
I think the collective older generations dropped the ball. Collectively. I have hope for the "gun culture 2.0" that learns guns from video games, uses social media, is starkly pro-freedom. We want 3D printed machine guns with no compromise and "not one inch".
I don't think compromise worked.
It's the old NRA vs modern GOA, FPC, and every YouTuber.
Fringe with cult followings? Maybe. But I think it's better than saying "well... I guess high cap mags are no big deal.... Bump stocks are no big deal.... Braces are no big deal.... Rifles are no big deal.... Pistols at no big deal.... At least I have my musket
