So the question is no longer litigation, but enforcement. Nice shift.

And that's the best case scenario, look up Vicki Weaver for something worse.

The first thing on the list is literally 1992.
What happened in the 1994 midterm election, and what happened in between?
What happened in 1990 in New Jersey and what happened in the 1992 state elections (and 93 for governor because NJ does gov elections the year after presidential cycle for some reason)
What happens basically only in blue states (lone exception being VT with a R governor but D legislature in 2018)
And various executive orders in between and weaponization of the ATF, etc

Here's some democratic platforms
>"It is time to shut down the weapons bazaars in our cities. We support a reasonable waiting period to permit background checks for purchases of handguns, as well as assault weapons controls to ban the possession, sale, importation and manufacture of the most deadly assault weapons."
>"We will protect Americans' Second Amendment right to own firearms, and we will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists by fighting gun crime, reauthorizing the assault weapons ban, and closing the gun show loophole, as President Bush proposed and failed to do."
>"We can work together to enact and enforce commonsense laws and improvements – like closing the gun show loophole, improving our background check system, and reinstating the assault weapons ban, so that guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists or criminals."
>"We can focus on effective enforcement of existing laws, especially strengthening our background check system, and we can work together to enact commonsense improvements - like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole - so that guns do not fall into the hands of those irresponsible, law-breaking few."
>"To build on the success of the lifesaving Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, we will expand and strengthen background checks and close dangerous loopholes in our current laws; repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to revoke the dangerous legal immunity protections gun makers and sellers now enjoy; and keep weapons of war—such as assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines (LCAM's)—off our streets."
>"Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines"
Notice how every platform since 1992 has called for an assault weapons ban (1996 and 2000 omitted because the 1994 AWB was in place). Yes people are coming for our guns and some are very blunt about it

you sound exactly like the attorney representing NJ in court in a suit against their additional restrictions on carry a month or two ago.
> the laws shouldn't be overturned because they won't be enforced anyway
so then don't pass the damn laws.
This is all immaterial anyway. Bruen means the days of practically all gun control is numbered.
