UN Arms Trade Treaty- Moran letter to Obama-Hillary.

[TheQ]

So does anyone think King Obama will have any trouble getting his handpicked 12 toady members of the new Super Congress to ratify a U.N. anti gun treaty?

Yet another reason to repeal the 17th amendment.

You do know that California is bankrupt, right?

Taking away the large amount of Federal money would put their economy into an even bigger tailspin.

If California did leave the Union, and the United States went in to take it back, I think California would have no choice but to give up and return. Most of their citizens would have a problem knowing what end of firearm a bullet exits, would be limited to magazine size of 10 and under, and forget about any notion of anything that even appears to be an "assault rifle". The only problem is that we have people on OCDO from California and other state firearm groups who may be able to set up some pretty solid resistance. The way to control that, though, would be for us to let them be on their own for a while and, with no acknowledgment of a right to keep and bear arms in effect, anyone who would be a worthy opponent would have escaped. Furthermore, if we let them have their way for a while as an independent entity, I think they would probably be inclined to disarm everybody they could... even the police and military. The United States Military could then casually walk across the border and take it back due to ineffective opposition.
Texas? Maybe, they already think they are independent and sovereign.
Florida, I could ALMOST believe... except for their reliance on tourist dollars... and if the US just shut the border at the moment of secession the lack of that money would kill the economy, not to mention that most of the residents along the east coast ( Vero Beach, south) would be upset that they couldn't return to New York/ New Jersey when the weather there warmed up... they too would capitulate.

*The statements above are sarcastic ramblings. It is in no way the intent of this author to disparage people from California, Texas, New York, and or New Jersey in general nor our brothers and sisters who stand with us in support of the 2nd Amendment. But you must admit...

Ordinarly I'd agree with you that California being bankrupt but in light of the recent fiasco in D.C. I'm not sure being bankrupt really matters. As a independent country they'd be able to pull of the same stunt that the congress and kick the can down the road. And yes I agree with your assesment Texas is probably the only state that could really pull it off.

I also agree with The Q's statement we need to repeal the 17th ammendment it would go along way to starting to fix our problems.
