    My initial concern on this remains unchanged....the series of school and public place shootings have not had the desired effect of pushing the nation to draconian gun control so now it appears the Left may force hundreds or thousands of law abiding citizens to use force to fight oppression, thus confirming for the world to see that the evil white racist gun owner is a dangerous reality.

    if an armed confrontation erupts, the media will make it look like the Klan has risen again and is using firearms to threaten the new majority.

    My fear is, that in doing the right thing, we will play right into their hands. On the other hand, we need to remember that Texas exists because many came from other states to join our fight for freedom from Mexico. I, for one, support the Virginia 2A movement politically and financially. At 71 years old, that's about all I can do.

    I'd like to communicate with our Senators and Representatives about this subject and the reality of the moves that the left is trying. But, our Senators and Representatives are only interested in getting reelected and being politically correct. I have written many times and get the same old canned response. If they don't get the message soon we will be forced to vote them out. But, that would open the possibility of putting Democrats in their position. That would be failure. McCaul and Cornyn are not the least bit interested. They pretend, but, are absolutely only interested in themselves.

    Thank you for posting this. I was just about to say something similar, and you said it all.

    I think the far left actually WANTS to create a spark under this powder keg so they can use it as justification for infringing the 2nd Amendment.

    Hell, the media has already done that. The only thing left to fear is fear itself.

    Devil’s advocate: your argument is just a twist on the same ‘rivers of blood in the streets’ used when discussing concealed carry, open carry and campus carry in Texas.

    Gunz are icky.
    I’ve wondered if a county or counties could secede from a state to create a new state?
    Not secede from the U.S. but from the original state.
    Say in Illinois everything not Chicago just leave.

    There have been parts of both northern CO and northern CA that have discussed this very thing in recent years based on the fact that they are no longer represented by the state as a whole. I think it's coming at some point, but not just on the state level.

    Rex sums it up nicely. We are the symbol of freedom for all.

    Sharks are testing the waters. For those who support DJT. What is he doing about this? Can he do anything? I feel as if everyone on the hill is against the last frontier. We are it folks.

    Either America pushes back or freedom is lost.

    We need to wall up all the big cities a la "Escape from New York", they probably won't notice anyway, then resume life as normal while they slowly rot off. I call it the 'Burdizzo Plan' for a more peaceful society.

    Found this just now with a search. Can't verify it's accuracy, but somewhat encouraging, if correct:
