Most likely no one incident will spur a swift and sudden roll back of Second Amendment rights. However, this does provide an opportunity for the anti-gin crowd to chip away at public opinion which seems to currently support the 2A.
I am not sure if there is an organized effort, but I have noticed a lot of focus on the magazine capacities, internet sales and the volume of ammo purchased. My concern is that even people who support the 2A may not see restrictions in these areas as a problem.
Also, recently we have seen the white House utilizing Executive Orders to implement policies that the Congress would not. So, could we see Executive Orders restricting magazine capacity, on-line sales or the quantity of ammo you could purchase? They could implement these restrictions while simultaneously arguing that they support the Second Amendment.
