I see your point. I just often wonder if the "states rights" argument isn't a misnomer. It isn't that the people want to break away from the US, and only claim to be Californians. It's that people want the US to uphold the fact that Californians can decide what laws are applicable to them.

It's that people want the US to uphold the fact that Californians can decide what laws are applicable to themI think you nailed it on this post. People want home rule b/c only they know what is best for them. Sovereignty is a basic tenant of freedom. When we lose sovereignty, so goes our freedom.
Remember the old saying Jeff Davis left Congress.....and took the Constitution with him.

You ~want~ the USSC to 'uphold' the CA assault weapons prohibition?
