I am glad NRA fought the case but martial law pretty much negates your rights, and always will.

I understand what you're saying. However, I feel that under the right circumstances, things could turn out differently than you are suggesting.
There are huge numbers of gun owners in this country who will not turn over their guns without a fight. IF the people in that video had refused to give up their guns and those making them do so had shot them, all hell would have broken loose. The cops, military, whoever would not be safe from retaliation and/or liability.
Just look at the comment ninavain posted:
"if that same situation happened in Las Vegas, cops would've shot him dead, then asked him questions..happens way too much here. You can have CCW permit and end up dead"
I'm guessing that is in response to the Erik Scott case where he was gunned down at Costco while carrying 2 guns and a valid CCW permit. Incidents like that give people an unfortunate opinion of officers, like the one ninavain shared with us. The more it happens, the more people will develop those opinions and stand up for themselves.
