I find it darkly amusing that so many people are still operating under the assumption that the Republic is in any way continuing in the way our founders imagined.
Keeping this strictly gun related, but the principles and beliefs of some politicians extend to all areas, Hillary Clinton has been a vocal opponent of gun rights. She has stated several times that she would, if in a position of power, seek to curtail or outlaw the private use and ownership of all firearms. She now seeks that position of power.
The last several presidencies, not just the last eight years, have seen a blatant disregard for the protections and rights we have enumerated in our Constitution and written into our laws. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the term "judicial activism" or the "living document" idea. These, among others, are tools used to whittle away what you have taken for granted, while not actually amending or striking any law or text of the Constitution.
The end goal is to have the Second Amendment securely ensconced in the Constitution, but in daily life it will have no meaning, as private ownership is to be banned under leftist leadership and the meaning of the words (remember that common catch-phrase "words mean things"?) perverted so as to be unrelated and not applicable to the citizen.
