COLUMBIA, S.C.
South Carolina debated seceding from the Union more than 150 years ago, one of the opening salvos of the Civil War. Now, the topic has come up again, amid a national debate over firearms and gun rights.
A trio of state House Republicans on Thursday quietly introduced a bill that would allow lawmakers to debate seceding from the U.S. "if the federal government confiscates legally purchased firearms in this State."
Rep. Mike Pitts, the measure's chief sponsor, acknowledged Friday in an interview with The Associated Press that the bill has no chance of passage this year but pledged to continue to raise the issue based on what he described as a defense of the Bill of Rights.

Do it. We got your back. Those state-ist thugs that would try quell any state secession will be tamed.
Secession DOES NOT MEAN WAR. It’s only war if the Feds want one.
Id be much happier if California sceeded from the Union. Multiple wins there. Of course, I cant wait to get out of NJ myself.....

And a huge baggage train filled with petting puppies, warm milk, cookies, and soundproofed rooms encased in steel as safe rooms ... there would be no guns allowed of course, but banner and placard making would go full steam ahead with slogans from the propaganda departments on college campi. The ‘North’ wouldn’t stand a chance this time around - they’d be so ashamed and just break down in tears ... the poor dears ...
You forget their secret weapon: Protest Puppets
This Yankee would join them if welcomed.
OmG-d! Protest Puppets!! They wouldn’t dare! Would they?
History suggests it will.
Maybe you’re right. We’ll see!
LOL. Maybe this time we can get secession right.
