Well that will also require a couple of SCOTUS decisions. But yes, if that happens, I would leave, particularly if a religion is banned. That would mean the country has evolved in ways that are profoundly alien to its tradition. And that won't happen in my lifetime, so it is entirely a hypothetical.

I agree that a national handgun ban or a Methodist ban probably won't happen. But for argument's sake, let's say that we get both bans. Or better yet, let us say that your religion/personal philosophy has been banned.

From your last post, I get the idea that you would move, because that would be the only realistic option open to you. But would you agree that you should have to move? Would you accept the majority's decision as a legitimate law?

No, I would not accept it as being correct, but I would not take up violence either if that were the majority will. I would simply know that the planet had moved into a dark age. But again, I am an optimist. I absolutely believe that none of this will happen. The planet is moving with fits and starts towards the light, and not the dark side.
