Well, technically that region had legally withdrawn from the United States, a right that all states legally had. That federal government could have respected that right but, decided it was worth the fighting to force them back into union.are we not going to mention that the entire region was in open rebellion against the federal government? It's not like the Fed just decided to burn Atlanta for no reason.
Not that I agree with using the Civil War as an argument for guns today, just saying.
Honestly, I’m so tired of the gun debate. I’m so tired of gun lovers not willing to even start a discussion about tighter gun laws.
I just finished watching the Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition. Something was said during the doc that stood out. The dry supporters refused to even discuss changes to the Volstead Act and were so unwilling to bend that it helped bring about the talks of repeal. If they had just aloud some changes to the act, prohibition may have stuck around for quite a while.
My point, gun owners refusing to even discuss tighter laws will eventually bring about there complete ban if they are not careful.
