Yeah, the states that have no access to the ocean. The liberals already have control of most coastal and border states, and have created a perimeter, so it will be easy for them to surround the inner states and close in on them. Dam up their water supplies, poison them out, etc.

The inland states have already dammed up the water. It's also where the food is.

What do you think Government and Military forces will be armed with, they have aircraft, UAV's, tanks etc and they have powerful grenade launchers. The US Military patrolled bases on vehicles in Europe with Mark 19 Grenade Launchers during the Cold War, a weapons so powerful it could destroy a brick wall from miles away. Do you really think your AR-15 would match them.

Almost all of the laws you speak about are symbolic and easily defeated. Many of them are being reversed because they have proven to be unconstitutional, like the magazine capacity.

The Laws relating to proper military type weapons are still in existence and you can generally only buy certain weapons in the US.

The debate taking place in the US is in relation to whether the law should be extended to include some other weapons that have been used in mass shootings.

It will be too easy to starve them out. A Country Boy will survive.

We are dealing with invaders that cut off people's heads and put them on spikes, or put suicide vests on and blow up half a block. Silicon Valley will release their unmanned drones to drop bombs and chemical weapons. Poison our food and water supply, or release deadly diseases that only the elite have the vaccines for. The only thing that could save us would be if there really is a God.
That is a good point about the illegal immigrants being used as soldiers too.


Lets face it, the american public has never seen foreign troops on US SOIL, fighting on US soil!!!

If things keep going the way they're going, I do see a change within the United States. I see more of a Federation of the United States.

Yes, the Left would control most of the coastline on the West/Northeast areas, but the Right will control the Gulf of Mexico and the Southeast coastline. More important, the Right will control most of the energy and food supplies. Plus, most of the American "Warrior Class" will move to areas controlled by the Right, so the Right leaning States will have a strong military force. Unlike the areas controlled by the Left since most Leftist would never join any Armed Force.

If this should happen, I guess I'll be moving to one of the Red States!!

How is Ca going to grow its crops when other states cuts off it's water and STOPS sending gasoline to it? Tractors do NOT run on air.

Sorry, Ca CANNOT thrive WITHOUT other states input.
