It's becoming more obvious to even those who support gun ownership in general that the NRA is catering to a lunatic fringe that wants to hoard guns so they can kill american soldiers who are going to come after them one day

Yes it has always been the extreme Left (there is no moderate Left) who have proposed that there is no liberty in equality. That is the difference between you and the founders. Everyday, more and more people rally to the cause, including Democrats who are realizing they've been duped, and gun control has even less of a chance now than it did before Sandy Hook (assuming there is a such thing as less than nothing in this case).

The Second Amendment right is not unlimited. We do not cast doubt on concealed-weapons prohibitions, laws barring possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, laws barring firearms in sensitive places like schools and government buildings, and laws imposing conditions on commercial sale of arms. (54-55) Also, the sorts of weapons protected are the sorts of small arms that were lawfully possessed at home at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification, not those most useful in military service today, so “M-16 rifles and the like” may be banned.
