Not terrified, I am just saying we won't see any new states being created within the continental US. 48 is all you get.

Also, why create a new state when they could vote with their feet and move to a state that better fits them. (Just quoting you on this one.)

Why do they have to leave? Do you want to force people out of the country that you don't agree with?

If they use the freedoms and liberties that this nation is founded upon to limit the freedoms of others, to use freedom to enslave others, they yes...you cant use your 1st amendment rights to limit the 2nd Amendment rights of other just because of your views or opinions.

Also why should we have to change our nation, our values, and our culture to service them? if you want a bigger government, less freedoms, and higher taxes, fine, leave....

Who is enslaving others? What are you even talking about? Our nation was founded on change, the ability to craft a country that best fits us. Your 2nd Amendment right is still intact...as well as the rest of your Amendment rights....not that you care about those, it is all about the 2nd Amendment to you, screw the rest.

You say you are for freedom, but you seem to be against the freedom of choice. With choice comes people making choices you are gonna disagree with, that is the whole point of having choices.

I thought it was founded on limited government, liberty, and unalienable rights.

You assume change is always a good thing..history proves otherwise.

My 2nd Amendment right is not intact.

I have to pay a $200 tax and just threw a maze of hoops to just to buy Shotgun with a barrel length shorter then 18 inches, or a piece of hearing protection like a sound suppressor.

I can only own weapons the have passes a "sporting propose" test.

I cant own a machine gun that was manufactured after May 19, 1986 for no reason at all, I am not a criminal, I would be willing to pay 200 dollar tax, but I cant buy one..for no reason.

My 2nd Amendment rights are no were near intact.

".as well as the rest of your Amendment rights"

Have you seen the state of the 4th Amendment? what about warrant less wire taps, search smart phone without a warrant?

Or the 10th Amendment and the lost of basic freedom for the states.

I am for freedom of choice.

I support school vouchers
Legalization of pot and prostitution
Legalization of online gambling
Uninfringment of the 2nd Amendment

What I am against is people using their freedom of choice to limit my choices or my freedoms..

California secession movement gains steam | The Daily Caller

In light of the recall I think things will have change for the better in Colorado after the 2014 election.

That will never happen. Government will never voluntarily give up power.

Statist love power and their ability to tell others how to live.

No, they are not. Wake up.

Our government regularly violates our 4th amendment rights with impunity. They even have the Supreme court confirming their ability to violate our 4th amendment rights. And others too.
