And what happened as a result? You want to see another war? Fortunately they aren't prepared for that even if it was what they wanted. Spaniards were disarmed decades ago.

That would be enough for independence.
That could be a very meaningful threat, especially if we had a similar situation in the USA. Our federal law enforcement agencies are tiny in comparison to the population. For example, it would seem difficult to foreclose on a home for unpaid taxes if the state and local agencies like clerks' offices (where the titles are kept) refused to cooperate.
