Well, it would have to work with only "a very few people", because I've seen the level of resolve in today's American, and it ain't worth spit. And if our Constitutional Rights begin to collapse on a state-by-state level, forget it. It's done.
Our system is very fragile currently. Cesspools of political dung like kalifornia, colorado, wash state, orygone, already have openly violated federal law by legalizing dope. And the feds do nothing.
I can foresee a time when, if those states enact a total prohibition on privately owned firearms, the feds will do what they do best: nothing.
You and I understand the importance of commitment. Today's generation can't even hold down a job.
It is not going to happen. But, if it did, Texas would succeed, and 1/3-1/2 of the nation would follow the lead of Texas.
