When the confederacy decided to leave the union, the federal government did not wish them bon voyage. It launched a full scale war; and upon winning the war, the principle that the union could not be dissolved was enshrined.
As one of the states with the most aversion to guns and the strictest gun and ammunition control laws, California could not be in a worse position to fight the full force of the United States military should they somehow succeed in the quixotic quest to start a second civil war.
Those wishing to secede will have discovered too late that the purpose of the second amendment was to be able to resist a government which had become oppressive to them; it was never about shooting squirrels and deer. |

| Seriously, if Kommiefornia wants to leave, let them. It'll be an improvement for everyone involved. |

" ... Those wishing to secede will have discovered too late that the purpose of the second amendment was to be able to resist a government which had become oppressive to them ... "
Fedgov OPPRESSIVE to them? Considering their taxes and gunlaws, I suggest it's the California govt. that's "oppressive."
Let 'em go? Sure, and Bon Voyage .... but the people there will still be stuck with petty tyrants.
So why should I worry? Let them reap what they've sowed.................................... |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. � Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
