The U.S. should declare war on Missouri.

[Rip]

I want PerePerry to come in here and tell me that, as a "state's rights" advocate, Missouri should be allowed to arm itself in the way its own state voters see fit, and that nullifying federal laws regulating gun sales and ownership should totally be within the states' power.

And then we can declare war on him too. Because telling the United States that you reject its laws specifically to begin amassing arms is literally the equivalent of me saying the same thing to the Dallas Police Department. Or, if you wanna stay with the illusion that we're all a collection of powerful independent city-states, then it's secession, plain and simple, which is treason, which means death, and of course you know, this means war.

But that's the whole point, right? The entire point of the second amendment, according to those who like it, is that we NEED guns specifically to fight our government. The government doesn't want you to have certain guns, so an entire state violently (figuratively) opposes that tyranny and says "we don't recognize your power, King George, so come and get 'em!" The fact that Missouri ended up just pussyfooting around this whole thing (the vote to nullify federal American law lost, by one vote, which means half of them are pussies by the miracle of ratios) is just disappointing, really, and practically unpatriotic.

Man up Missouri, and take your medicine. These dominoes have been in place for centuries, they were designed to fall. What are you trying to prove? Because I'm dying to see.
