So you would rise up and shake off the 'federal tyranny' just so you could impose tyranny of your own. And y'all wonder why we call you hypocritical.
Ronald Reagan once said, "Vote with your feet." If Alabama restricted welfare to nursing mothers and extreme cases of hardship, then Vermont kept liberalizing it's qualifications. Where do you think third generation welfare recipients would reside? This would be the same scenario for firearms, abortion, labor laws, taxes, etc.
But that's not what you said. You said all the transplants would be sent packing. "...you'll receive all of the sun seeking transplants back." That doesn't sound like it would be voluntary to me. But restoring your Southern culture will require wholesale purges of all your 'undesirables' wouldn't it?
Now, if every State in Dixie would pass mandatory firearms ownership laws; well heck, you'd get the gun banners on top of the welfare brats.
And of course the first thing you do is impose big government controls. "Mandatory firearms." What's next? Mandatory voting, for the correct party of course? Mandatory church going, so long as it was one of the select Protestant denominations? You all bitch and moan about 'federal tyranny' when in fact your only complaint is the federal government may stand in the way of you imposing tyranny of your own. You like to claim that you stand for freedom, but Southern culture has always been founded on a very narrow definition of what a Southerner is and your idea of freedom ends at that border. You want freedom for you, but not for any non-white, non-Anglo Saxon, non-Christian person you're forced to rub shoulders with. And even the Christian part has its limits so far as you're concerned. You people are a walking, talking bundle of contradiction, and I would truly pity anyone who didn't fit your mold in your new Dixie. You would suppress them, grind them down, maybe deport them as you said. All to achieve your homogeneous Southern Reich.
Thus playeth the race card. Very unseemly.

Get off your high horse Mayor Daley! We have mandatory seat belt laws, speed limits laws, etc, etc, etc. None of which you concern yourself with. These laws are said to "save lives? " Mr. Daley/Non-Sequitur firearms save lives!
In regards to the other liberal "nonsense"... The question is what are you going to achieve by staying "up there" when ALL the Conservatives have already fled South? Your businesses, tax base, decent clothing makers, gun manufacturers, etc... What will be left? Mr. South basher will be stuck all alone in his parents basement, cherishing his doll of disHonest Abe, and asking, "why me "...
When that day arrives and you want admission into the more perfect Union, the "Conservative States of America", you'll be crying at the guards feet pleading for him to call one of us. I'll be waiting Non-Sequitur!
