Firearms in the hands of citizens is something that is here to stay in the US. In the last 20 years the firearm laws have been massively liberalized where now private carry of firearms is legal in all 50 states in some manner. Gun owners as a segment of population are growing if one looks at unique NIC checks (some surveys report it as shrinking but they don't take into account the underreporting that is rampant among gun owners). The largest growing market is female gun owners. The more people who undertake firearms the less traction gained by the anti-gun fearmongering.
If you don't like guns you have a choice - don't own any. If you don't like others having guns I suggest you learn to deal with it because it isn't going to change nor should anyone's rights be infringed due to others being timid or prudish.
