Public opinion waxes and wanes, as do legislative priorities, but looking at the big picture, the pro-2A lobby has made a lot of gains over the past 20, 10, even 5 years.
That being said, it is unclear how long this streak will continue. A lot of the low-hanging fruit (e.g. permitless carry and sanctuary county/state status in red states) have been plucked, and demographics are working against us.
The right to bear arms is very rooted in Anglo-European thought, the Euro-American historical experience, and the Aryan mode of being. It can exist among non-European peoples, but they generally don't see it as a fundamental or inalienable right to the extent that Euro-Americans do.
This is reflected in polling and electoral data, which show a sizeable racial divide on gun-related issues, as well as recent history. How could Virginia of all places become an anti-gun state? Demographics.
That's what 2A advocates are up against, and the movement as a whole does not seem adept enough at tackling racial/demographic issues. And even if they were, there are limits to how successful you can be in such a demographically unfavorable environment. On a federal level, our luck is going to run out (some would say it already is).
The best we can hope for in a more long-term sense is that White-majority pockets of the country can resist the feds effectively enough to render federal impositions unenforceable. I.e. disentanglement of fed and state/local law enforcement and de facto nullification of federal laws.
However, eventually even that will stop being demographically feasible if the Great Replacement continues.
The only permanent solution is some form of national separation and the establishment of a sovereign Euro-American homeland.
