Interestingly, the states rights debate is true, wholly.
The north wanted to keep the right to acknowledge escaped slaves as free, and the south kept sending people up there to kidnap free men and women. They were even known to kidnap free born black people and sell them into slavery.
The south also wanted to charge the north for this "service".
When people talk about states rights, remind them that the south was heavily infringing on the rights of the northern states.
It's "true" on a technicality. It was about slavery.
I guess you're one of those people who are incapable of reading between the lines.
Or maybe you didn't read my comment at all?
Eh, sorry, it seemed like you were genuinely convinced that most people were concerned about legal issues. I've met people who tried to make earnest arguments like that.
They also put it in their constitution that slavery could never be outlawed. Sounds like a really big issue for states rights
"Buy muh Southern Pride!"
"What about the south are you proud of that involves the battle flag of the side that wanted to keep slavery?"
Really? These clowns couldn't take over the capitol building and now they think theyre going to take over the country? Honk your nose for me on your way our the door, k?
They actually believe that they can revolt, and with their AR-15s, magically take out National Guard troops and just acquire their weapons and armored vehicles.
A member of my family is not only a veteran, but also fell into this lunacy and thinks his work as a logistics officer and his NG training puts him on the level of the Navy SEALs. And he's almost 60. He salivates at the idea of fighting the mythical military oppression from the evil Demoncrats trying to take away his guns.
Considering the avg republican has to ride the diabetes scooters at Walmart I think the 2nd civil war will be a goddamn turkey shoot.
Let's find out, Trumptards!
I'm not a Trumper and I know for a fact they not only have more gun owners in Republican voting areas, they also train with them more because it's not as stigmatized. My point is that the Democrat areas will 100% lose any fight since we've been told for over two decades that guns are bad
They have louder gun owners. My friends and I don't advertise our arsenals, and we practice plenty. My carry is hidden from everyone around me, because many people are uncomfortable around guns, and I don't want to make anyone have to think about it. I am not unique, and I'm in a progressive area.
I am aware of the gun ownership of one liberal person whom I know personally. I only found out because when they gave me a tour of their house, I noticed a small decorative item in their closet and asked about it. The item itself was a gift from their family member.
Every Republican I know who owns a gun, OWNS SEVERAL GUNS VERY LOUDLY AND PROUDLY GOD BLESS AMERICA.
People have asked, and I'll tell them what I've got if they're interested, but I'm not proclaiming it by any means. Most don't know that I have made several different firearms and custom attachments. My core group is outwardly some of the most peaceful people you'll meet, self aware, kind, pro mental health, pro acceptance of any marginalized group, but also understanding of the importance of defending ourselves from the encroaching wave of modern fascism.
