I smoked pot for a very long time - the thought of going to jail never deterred me. Because I knew that getting away with it was not hard at all.

Don't you agree that there was widespread disobedience of drug laws? Walking through any college dorm in the 1970s and 80s would have quickly answered that question. And every college official and campus cop knew what was going on. But they were not going to crack down on white, tuition paying students with parents that were likely to vote.

And that is why ignoring gun laws will be easy - the cops won't be looking (in many cases they will not enforce the law anyway, especially elected law enforcement). The state governments are not going to push back - they would fear the political backlash because one thing the NRA has conclusively demonstrated is that gun owners will vote.
