Jim, some interesting propositions there.
One thing seems to be forgotten. At one time, somewhere in the past, the not so distant past for a couple of the States, they willingly joined the Union.
If I'm not totally forgetting my civics lesson, along with the process for joining the Union there is/are some process/processes for "un-joining". Right?
Similar to what some of us 2A proponents have been saying for years to the "banners". You don't like the 2A? Then go through the process to remove or amend it. It says what it says.
Living in the wonderful State of California we get to deal with a number of the issues posted. An especially irksome one is the "immigrant" issue here. Special instructions from ATF had to be sent to CA firearm dealers regarding an issue with CA drivers licenses for "unauthorized/undocumented" aliens that, because of an opt in type system, allowed confirmed USA citizens to get licenses with a warning that the licenses weren't legal for Federal purposes. Seems to have been resolved somewhat, with the caveat that the dealers ask for extra documentation if they have ANY qualms about selling to the buyer.
Civil disobedience on a grand scale just might work, however, it has a tendency to go "both ways" and the conservatives may end up with some restoration of "State's rights" only to find out they don't like parts of the outcome (eg, mary j juana laws)
Thanks for posting the thought provoker for the day.
Geno
