If the NRA folds (and that's a big "if," since it may have been exaggerating its state for the court), I could see at least a few outcomes.

First: a similar group pops up, probably bankrolled by fresh investments from the gun industry and right-wing backers hoping to use gun rights to keep Republicans loyal. It could reignite the NRA's base, but it'd also face the same limitations: many companies wouldn't want to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

If not that, then it'd be down to the ACLU. Which would drive conservatives nuts, because the ACLU may defend the 2A on a core level, it's not the absolutist "any gun I want should be legal" kind of defense the NRA's hardcore members prefer.

The least likely: a new group arrives that casts off at least some of the corruption and fanaticism of the NRA in order to find financial acceptance. I'm really not expecting this one, because it'd neither keep the zealots nor get a mainstream audience.

As a side note: isn't it funny to think that at least some of the NRA's current predicament was sparked by teens? Gives you hope that the country's current nightmare isn't going to last long.

Def not the "you have the right to the firepower of a modern infantryman or any kind of damned fool gun you want" POV.

That's ok, plenty for everyone. I might even dig my rifles out of the closet and dust them off. It's been at least twenty years since they've been fired, might need some oil.

I always tried to take care of mine long after I quit using them. I always admired & wanted to preserve the craftsmanship of quality old school blued steel firearms.
 
Sane gun owners? Last count - over 310 million guns in Killmerica! One for every man, woman and child. Anglo saxons invented the gun. So where are you going to go? Are you going to steal someone else's country and set up shop there? Do tell us.
