can the hardnose right cause a repeal of the 2nd amendment?

42. No. And Wow. And No again.

First, taking on faith your statement that the number of hunters is declining, what is link between that decline and the opposition of the extreme anti-gun control crowd to reasonable gun control measures?

Second, the second amendment isn't going anywhere and certainly not because reasonable gun control measures are being blocked. If the legislative branches of the government at the federal and state levels can't be persuaded to pass reasonable gun control laws, how in the world are they going to be persuaded to pass a constitutional amendment. As noted, amending the constitution requires a super majority vote by the House and Senate and 2/3 of the states to ratify. Long before the country reached the point (and I doubt it ever would) where there would be sufficient support for repealing the second amendment, there would be support for reasonable gun control measures which, under your theory, would obviate the need for repealing the second amendment.

Back to my short answer: No.
