ct, all that the "collectivists" will have is what ever military, jack booted thugs, and UN troops that will go along with them. We'll have ourselves, but it all boils down to whomever has the will to remain free.
Which is the most powerful: The will to remain free, or the will to subjugate? Clearly there are those who will fall in with whomever offers the biggest piece of cake, there are those who will simply await the outcome and go with the flow(the largest group I would guess), those who cluelessly follow the "powers that be", then there are those who understand what it is to be free - or at the least can imagine the desperation associated with not being free.
I cannot predict the future, but I do know what I'll tolerate in that future. As one of my tag lines says, "Knowing the past, I'll not surrender any arms and march less prepared into the future."
Funny thing, the past. The less you know of it, the more vulnerable you are. In school, I paid scant attention to history, thinking only of what I wanted for the here and now and my future. My lack of the knowledge of history had allowed me to be suckled into a blind, headlong rush into life - a life others chose and steered for me instead of the path I really wanted or should have wanted.
Things are much better now, but had I paid attention to even the little bit of history I was presented with in school, my curiosity might have been piqued and I would have cast a few votes differently, spoke up, and done whatever necessary to become as independent of government as possible.
I've discovered it's never to late to study history and learn from it, but it can certainly be to late to recover a nation from its lack of attention to history. Let us hope and pray it is not too late for this country. The Court can hand us freedom and security bloodlessly with a simple one word answer to the question they posed for themselves in DC v. Heller. That word is "YES". That is all they need to say. It will need no clarification, no justification, no pontification. "Yes" will open the floodgates to a clarity that will clear the books of all the unconstitutional law limiting our ability to secure our freedom and defend ourselves from crime.
Maybe then Congress and the several state legislatures will begin to abide the Constitution. It is, after all, not just a set of guidelines, but an inviolable pact.

Look at your rights and freedoms as what would be required to survive and be free as if there were no government. Governments come and go, but your rights live on. If you wish to survive government, you must protect with jealous resolve all the powers that come with your rights - especially with the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Without the power of those arms, you will perish with that government - or at its hand. B.E. Wood
