90 percent of CA landscape is conservative - maybe counties will split away. They wanted to break this state into three parts a few years ago... who knows? It's going to be pretty wild.
But, that all depends on a lot of things - the Zero admin first, the courts, and the will of the people... this last, probably should have been first. This pres might be third in line.
Don't be ridiculous.
No, they don’t understand this country AT ALL.
Their plans and schemes to control and subjugate Americans to their anti-American rules are an amazing sight to behold, allright, as Glenn Beck and others are revealing.
However, since they don’t understand what they are messing with, there’s no way their plans and schemes have taken the real America and Americans into account.
Recipe for failure.
Free expression of ideas is another bridge they will meet American Patriots on.
FYI
Sounds ridiculous I'll admit, but I'm not the one that started talking like this - not by a long shot.
Ten years ago this kind of talk began in liberal universities - and the media had a NM professor on TV talking about how it would be best to break this nation up into five - a minimum of three smaller nations. Liberals have wanted this to 'weaken' the US. Like I said, they don't know what they are messing with.
Damn, I love you Texans...always have. I've often told my wife when her parents pass (which is close), we're moving to Texas. Damn your humidity, we'll live with it...haha.
Trust me, I won't bring the California liberal gimme mentality with me. We would be an asset to your beautiful State.
I know where I'm heading...do you?
Interesting that no one talks about that section of the House bill.
How can we be both in your thinking? What? States' rights and/or revolution? Care to elaborate?
I've been a gun-totin' cowboy hell bent for leather pokin' cows to earn my spending money during my teens... but, all that changed in the Navy (ping jockey) when electronics determined my career choices.
Dang folks, I've GOT to get'n the sack, or I'll be in trouble when that clock goes off! See y'all later...
Wishful thinking - never happen.
Good talking with you Shipmate. Sleep easy.
Sadly, you're right I'm afraid. But, there was a time....
Now... I really gotta go... have a great one, all of you!
Humidity, hmmm?
I live in dry West Texas, but was born and raised in the DFW Metroplex and have been to Austin, San Antonio and the Houston area when it was HOT to go with that humidity.
So I know whereof you speak.
Just remember the commercials that used to be on national tv about the size and diverse nature of Texas:
“Texas...it’s a whole other country”.
The trouble is that this law only applies to guns in which there’s already a national market, like the farmer’s wheat from that other infamous commerce clause case, and not machine guns, in which the national market is strangled, which even the Supreme Court acknowledged.
The Feds will probably just make the same argument that they made back then - that locally-produced firearms “affect” interstate commerce in firearms by reducing sales of non-Montana firearms in Montana.
If they hadn’t excluded machine guns, they might have a better case since the interstate market in machine guns is so minimal, but at least they included silencers which fall under the same regulatory regimen as machine guns.
Can my wife and I have a personal invite to move to your great state if we don't bring the liberal CA ideology with us? We're very close to moving out of this deviant state.
We've thought about northern Arizona because it's also an open carry state and it's similar weather up there, but it's kind of expensive up around Flagstaff and way too hot in the south region around Phoenix. Where's a reasonably priced area in west Texas if I may ask?
The States can do this because they will have more support than the federal government and most of the people who support the feds would still not be willing to go to war.
Movin to Monta-ana soon.....
First, I don't believe for a second the Military would fire on their US citizens and their brothers - a different time. Plus, any uprising would not be a "civil war" (as between the States). If it were to occur it would be a "revolutionary war" against the facists in DC. The Military is not their biggest supporter even though they have to follow the orders of the civilian leadership. That would stop at illegal orders firing on American civilians. I could actually imagine a military coup or at least non-compliance.
Secondly, I don't believe it will ever happen for the reasons you say. However, now that I'm seeing the individual States restating their sovereignty and Constitutional rights, things could come to shove. Makes a person wonder how many States' rights individuals would actually take up arms. I highly doubt many would, but many of the States are on course to tell the Fedgov to shove it anyway, and again, would the Fedgov actually order the Military to fire on their brothers and other family? Think not.
If the Fedgov wants to push the issue, then certain States may look at other means, other that "nullification". "Personally, I don't see a RWII. Too many people have grown weak, complacent, and want stuff. However, again, if the States' government just simply told the Fedgov to shove their mandates and nullify such, we could head back to our Constitutional Republic without a shot being fired.
That and term limits and reduced Congressional sessions are the answer to our problems. Tough stuff to do, but those are the paths back to our heritage.
