I got news for you, if they ever announced “gun confiscation” it’s going to be such a cultural affront in the South that not only will people not turn over their guns, and this is people of both races, but, you’ll see alot of violence break out.

I’ve never held to the idea that the South is permanently in the United States, and when you consider that, if you take out the Southern states, the country is predominantly blue, at some point there will be a cultural flashpoint. And just look at our experience in Iraq and Vietnam, the Soviets in Afghanistan, etc. When a country reacts to your presence as if it were an armed camp under hostile occupation, general, the occupying power retreats. Hell, the Union states actually made a deal with the South to pull out troops because they were tired of having to deal with our resistance

The rest of the country may fall, but the rest of the South will survive because we’ve always had our identity as being somewhat seperate, and I got news for you, no black in the South is going to turn guns over in a national gun confiscation order because well, it’s a common belief in the black community that the only thing that keeps them from re-enslavement is the ability to defend themselves. The story of the black man in the 1920’s, who used his shotgun to scare off the Klan, still has reverence in that community.

The rest of the nation may fall, but the South never will.

The South is a distinctive part of the country, but has become more like the rest of the country (particularly places like Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Northern VA). The South has influenced the rest of the country as well. When I go to the Mid-West, I find the people there are more like Southerners than people from NE or NY.

Texas, now that is another place as well. Texas could easily be a country on its own. Its people still think passionately about being Texans.

I live down here and agree with you.

I’ve even heard a ranking member of the police department here tell me that IF an order ever came down from “on high”to begin a weapons roundup, you’d see fistfights at and even hear gunfire from the local cop shops ‘cause a of these guys KNOW what will happen once our would-be masters have all the guns. They don’t want to be slaves either.

And if you’ve never heard him speak, go to

and scroll down to “Southern Heritage.”

POWERFUL STUFF!

Look around. How many non-natives do you see in the south? We’re being assimilated by the New York Borg, both retirees and the young. Heck, the Californians are on the move, and they’re not settling in South Dakota.

They want to bring the north and its liberalism right along with them.
