How many know that 'Dixie' was written by a yankee from Mt Vernon Ohio?

You're looking at the wrong maps. The country is purple.

Nice handwringing. I don't see a Constitutional amendment like this getting any traction whatsoever.

There was a growing political movement recently pushing the idea of Alaskan seccession, but the leader of the movement was killed in a 'botched robbery'.

A pretty infortunate coincidence.

Forgive me Sandman, I forgot that I needed to spell everything out for you.  I apologize for expecting you to think on your own.


When I said "Repeal the second ammendment," I meant "effectively repeal the second ammendment."

Blame me because the post was poorly written. I don't read minds.

So... you think that the 2nd Amendment is being steadily whittled away by the legistative branch and the Supreme Court seems quite happy to go along. There hasn't been a single gun control law struck down by the SC to date. What's the magical breaking point before you guys start your revolution? :rofl

 I don't think there is a "magical breaking point" They have already forced registration & limitations on legal owners, I remember a day when a guy could go to sears & buy a rifle for $60 & not have to sign anything. I never read about a single person getting killed in the parking lot by a maniac, people left their guns in gun racks inside their pick-up trucks in plain view, windows down even.

 But I think mandatory confiscation of firearms or a type of firearm after a federal law is passed in opposition to the second amendment will get the attention of everyone in America for one reason or another, I think that would cause lots of open revolt & bloodshed on a large scale & could even become another "civil war"....lol, "civil war" what a stupid name for it; war is anything but civil.

 Not quite the same situation as Texas, all of this country belonged to someone else before we took it, & they took it from someone before them. Here's a good "what if" - what if the United States native population had been controlled by a central governing tribe? Instead of Cherokee & Apache & Creek & Caddo & Iroquois etc. etc. etc.

 Me thinks the white settlers would not have taken this land...they may not have even been allowed a place to share it from.

I don't know the magical breaking point for other people.

I know mine.

The day they come to confiscate them (because I'm sure not turning in any of them), they should send the older, divorced, unattached, no children functionaries to give it a try.

Not all of them will be going back home from my house when their shift ends.

I'd expect that to be my coda as well; so be it.
