Your reply was a bit to subtle for my simple mind. Not sure what you're saying.

I doubt you're going to see expansion on conceal carry or other types of loosening of laws. But does look like there's unlikely to be any more background difficulties or federal impetus for Red flag laws:

The reason that your typical, law abiding citizen is dubious about a laundry list of new laws restricting gun ownership is that, by definition, they will be the only ones restricted. The criminal class, which includes hard core lefties, simply ignore the law.

I get that. In general I support near a hands off 2nd amendment. I have a few areas I'm ok with-limiting the number of bullets able to be discharged-at 30 or so. I don't see a reason for that 100 shot drum for instance.
Not that they are legal, but I'm against weapons like bazookas by your everyday person.

My major beef with gun control is simple NONE of the proposals from the left work, and we know they don't work. The left knows they don't work, and they know we know.
If the left cared about gun control they would be in Chicago , where more people are shot every weekend in those two shootings combined, protesting.
If the left really cared they would be proposing real solutions that work, not the same old bullshit that they A) know they will never get and B) they know wouldn't do shit even if they did get it
Outlawing MY AR 15 and or its 100 round drum magazine won't save one innocent life. Not one. On the other hand, how many lives are ruined or just over because someone in Dayton didn't call the police and say "hey this student of ours has a list of girls he wants to rape and a list of boys he wants to kill, maybe yall should do something about him?"

Careful, you're beginning to sound like the NRA.

I didn't say anything against the NRA. It seems a common assumption if I write something folks think I'm saying something I'm not.

No bazookas? OK, how about this offering from lefty icon Elon Musk:
Tesla Chief Sells $10 Million in Flamethrowers… But Why?

Elon Musk - head of electric carmaker Tesla and aerospace company SpaceX - is known for using creative methods to raise money for his businesses.
He has successfully gotten tens of thousands of interested buyers to place deposits of at least $1,000 for electric Tesla vehicles that were not yet manufactured. Last year, SpaceX announced that two private citizens had paid “a significant deposit” to ride on one of the company’s rockets for a future trip around the moon.
So it is not surprising that Musk recently launched another money raiser – this time for his tunnel-digging business, The Boring Company. But what did surprise many people was the item he was selling - flamethrowers.

Looks like the public isn't waiting around for their politicians to do something:
Gun sales surge fueled by first-timers, mostly for ‘concealed’ pistols
Gun sales are surging after the weekend mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, fueled by first-time buyers seeking pistols they can carry with them for protection.
The latest jump validated a big increase in purchases and background checks recorded by the FBI that show the four most recent months higher than the same months in 2018.
What’s more, the trend in the “National Instant Criminal Background Check System,” or NICS, is on a path to make 2018 the second biggest year since 2016, when gun owners and prospective gun owners filled stores before the presidential election that was expected to elect gun control advocate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
