2nd Amendment advocates cheer 'concealed carry' decision

From the link:
Guaranteed that a SCOTUS ruling, if any, on that Circuit Court ruling will keep the "subject to longstanding restrictions" language intact, which will serve to "legally" bolster the restrictions every bit as much as expand the privileges (they haven't been 2A "rights" since at least 1934) of carriers. Meanwhile, all of the precedents of unconstitutional restrictions and enforcement agencies that have previously been held up by SCOTUS as being "constitutional," will remain in full force.
A government that can grant a diktat that rejects one infringement such as the "good reason" provisions of D.C., can just as easily issue diktats creating further and more egregious violations of the "shall not be infringed" language of the Second Amendment, especially in light of the "longstanding restrictions" part of the Circuit Court ruling they (SCOTUS) will be ruling on.
As much as it may seem so, the potential SCOTUS ruling that might come out of this split in various appeals court circuits, is really not a big deal at all. Even if it goes 100% towards the 2A advocates' "legal" position, in the end, people will still be forced to ask their state governments for permission to carry outside the home, and pay a tax of varying amounts for the privilege of exercising their so-called "rights" under the Second Amendment. The "longstanding restrictions" language contained in the Circuit's ruling will render any favorable decision on this issue a total wash, except that the same language will simply build upon the many precedents already en force that the language refers to. Not something to get very excited about from where this observer sits.

Blues hit the nail on the head in his post. It's a whack a mole of chasing each decision on the side of 2A rights (allegedly) only to have another restriction expanded to start another court battle.
It's advantageous for the politicians to have all of us up each others butts about issues like 1A and 2A, race, socio-economic, gender, religion, yada, yada, yada. Everyone gets fascinated by the next news cycle uproar while they load the wheelbarrows up with our money.
I know that the Constitution is in peril. Not because of the news. All it takes is just standing in line to get groceries, grabbing a cup of coffee, or anything that requires standing or sitting somewhere while the people that hate the Constitution openly talk about shredding it.
I don't expect everyone to agree on 2A but they won't be openly yammering about the freedoms they currently enjoy once they defile (more than they already have) or eliminate 1A. The country is embroiled in a culture war that does have a tipping point and I'm not sure what that looks like.
I hope my kids and grandkids are empowered to understand what they would lose if the sjw's get their way. It won't be from anything they learn in our education system's current state.

So when are we going to have a talk with Paul Ryan to tell him to get off his posterior and stop holding up the Concealed Carry Reciprocity already?
BTW I am new here and I hope I posted in the correct place.
