I'd also be curious to see
what 60 cases the author mentions.
The lack of significant forward progress doesn't alarm me in the least. It'll take time for the ripples to travel in the pond, and setting precedent will be an ongoing process.
The biggest thing is that
Heller happened before the current administration took office. Gun control is no longer the slam-dunk that it was in 1993; anything this administration tries to pass will be weighed against
Heller. This means:
- It's gonna be costly,
- It's gonna be tied up in the courts for awhile, and
- It could backfire and create more pro-gun precedents.
Hopefully, that'll make them think twice before trying to pass anything.
So, it's not a step forward (yet), but I think it'll keep us from losing ground any time soon.
