Our legal system is a shambles that is clearly not prepared to handle this kind of thing, even setting aside the situation with the supreme court. It's become clear that the "shadow law" of simply passing unconstitutional statutes, filing frivilous lawsuits, etc., is operating independently of the real legal system moves too slowly and does not have adequate mechanisms to prevent what is essentially a DDoS attack. All justice is delayed and so all justice is denied.

As a gun owner, I can confidently state that the continuous stream of unconstitutional laws that must be constantly fought against is no new development.

As a non-gun owner, I imagine that much comes down to what the founders meant by the opening clause of the Second Amendment. Since the Originalists claim to hold special insights into the frame of mind of the founders, and this way of thinking seems to be over-represented on the SCOTUS, I would think this a friendly environment for the issue you care about. That aside, isn’t that the way that U.S. political and justice systems are supposed to function? Representatives pass laws at the behest of their most vocal constituents. Then those of opposing ideologies petition the courts for relief or their representatives for repeal.
