You forget Reagan.On a Federal level? Yes. FOPA didn’t exist 50 years ago, for one. The AWB was at the Federal level, and the ATF has clearly steeped it into overdrive since the AWB sunset. So yes, absolutely IMO.
At the state level? No, I think many states have made positive moves towards greater 2A freedom.
But I am a firm believer we have more rights now than when I was a kid.
