And if the states are wrong? What if Colorado decided tomorrow that the federal government had not the power to tell it what firearms is should allow private individuals to own, are you willing to accept it?
The Second Amendment says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That right existed before the USA and before Colorado. So if Colorado told the Feds the same as Montana and Tennessee did, or went further and passed a law that Feds trying to enforce federal gun laws would be arrested and jailed -- that I would support.
And if Colorado legislators try to infringe further on our right to bear arms, those legislators will be replaced -- or the red part of Colorado may secede from Denver.
I hope that Texas would either prevent Austin from screwing the rest of Texas, or they could cut off power, water, food, and trade with Austin.
I think the point is that a “legal” secession is not what some Texans are seeking - more of a “Come and Take It” statement. The hope is that the citizenry of the USA will revolt and re-establish the government we are supposed ot have, not the one that has been allowed to morph into the abomination it has become. The threat of secession gets like-minded people thinking about redress... first we have November to deal with to send the message. Should it not be heeded after that, then I suspect calls for secession will come from not just Texas, but other states as well. I am hoping that whatever occurs is non-violent, but I am starting to think with the media and leftists running our universities and secondary education centers that we may not be left with any choice. Whether legal or not, a rebellion or revolution will probably happen in our lifetime. The country is far too-polarized - maybe even worse than 1850-1865.
