I just hope everything ends with a giant bang before that can happen. The last time freedom increased in my country was at the end of WW2 but for that to happen, the biggest war in history needed to be fought first and the ensuing spell of relative freedom still only lasted for about 35-40 years.

We are living, thinking beings and we can, if we so choose, respect each other's freedom regardless of circumstances.

And if someone doesn't and tries to take undue power, well, everybody should own a gun anyway.
