My recollection is that factions waging asymmetrical warfare usually win eventually 
Not in Iraq.
Until the American people really take back their own government on both the Federal and State levels, they cannot consider themselves to have "won." We are one Justice away from losing our 2A RKBA. We are one "massacre" away from a media-driven hysteria to enforce plenary gun control. I wouldn't get too comfortable.
IMO, it's harder to file suit that you've been harmed by 2A "expressions" (what exactly, anxiety?) than it is for someone to file suit claiming their 2A has been denied.
As far as being "one massacre away", Virginia Tech and even the Rep. Gifford's spree shooter in AZ shows me that the idea of: "We've got a nut problem, and not a gun problem" has invaded the popular consciousness.
Does that mean we should stop fighting the anti's at every turn? Of course not.
We should just recognize that we have indeed been "Kicking ass and taking names" lately. And that despite these gains, some people have negative and pessimistic attitudes about the future of RKBA as part of their
identity.
It's like a sports game. If you're winning, do you get pessimistic that "Aww... we're going to start losing any time now..." or do you use the boost in morale to push the final victory home?
