Creeping normality or death by a thousand cuts is the way a major change can be accepted as the normal situation if it happens slowly, in unnoticed increments, when it would be regarded as objectionable if it took place in a single step or short period.
Heard this on a radio program the other day and I can see this coming to fruition in another couple decades or less...
The death by a thousand cuts on the second Amendment....
I just have a hard time seeing this happening. If we lay down and say nothing than yes it will go away. There are just too many guns here. I think a good example of this is they banned bump stocks in Massachusetts and four got turned in. It only works if we comply.

How many of those gun owners would make a stand if one day you were labeled a felon if you were in possession of a firearm? IMHO 50-70% would comply....
Of the estimated 300 million guns currently in the US how many of the owners would want them gone? Most were probably family members guns passed down and probably haven’t been shot in years....
How many younger people could give a crap about any guns at all? Well other than what’s available on their gaming system.
How many people could lose their jobs with a felony firearm possession over their heads? You have a family and losing your livelihood not to mention the threat of being incarcerated would be a serious issue.
How many would risk the prison term or for that matter death for possession of a firearm?
Talks cheap, but when it comes down to nuts and bolts of the matter, who’d actually risk their way of life for it? You’ll have the die hard second amendment group, but how many would actually risk it all for owning a firearm?
