But if a state did pull out, would Obama even try to stop them? Would the military actually fire on them?

Something tell me it wouldn’t happen.

If a state did opt out, the probablity of some conflict is high.

The Civil War, for instance, started with the Fort Sumter incident. Ref:

But that was then and this is now, and I can’t see today’s liberal gutlessness leading to any kind of war other than a Major World War

“But if a state did pull out, would........”
It’s a good question. I think the feds would just “pork” us into submission. But what if there’s nothing left to “pork” us with?

Here’s what they’d do: Use force to go after a few rogues after first identifying them as child molesters.

We ARE the military. Most military personnel would fight for states' rights in a heartbeat. Remember that rednecks are the nation's figthing class and that most of the guns are in the South.
