The whole matter, from guns to healthcare to the economy, to everything, hinges on what govt can do (legally) and what it DOES do.

The country is in a big flap right now, because of an issue where govt did something they obviously felt they had the authority to do, in spite of the will of the people against it.

I agree, IF Heller and MacDonald do get overturned by a future court, then we are back to where we were before they were decided. No worse. As long as we have the political will, and the legal ability to make our opinions known, to the Feds and to the states, we still have a chance.

House to house raids won't start the day after Heller gets overturned, (assuming it did), so we will have time to act.
How effective that would be, of course, depends on what we bring to it.
