They will need to wall in Austin.
Maybe the Democratic 'slavers' can either accept the US Constitution as the UN-Democratic Supreme Law of this nation or just get the F'Out and go find another nation to live in.
I see no point in slicing off part of this great nation so treasonous criminals can TAKE MORE than they already have gotten away with. Most of them seemed to find their way here so if they can't change their minds about what HERE is they can just go back to where they came from.
Or put simpler ... [WE] the people ... "do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
If you think "[WE] the people" ordained Gov-Gun THEFT (i.e. ?free? ponies) for you then you are NOT part of that "[WE] the people" and you can just Get the F'Out of this once free and great nation [WE] the people created.
One hopes to hear more about California secession in the new year. We could have a party.
How great would that be? The US instantly losing 14% of its economy. Not to mention California's economy growing 111% in the past 25 years, compared to the rest of the US at 75%. The definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face 🙂
And how much of that growth was Gov-Gun THEFT?
Leftards spew this BS day-in and day-out yet can’t explain why they have to keep going and growing their [Na]tional So[zi]al[ism] Gov-Gun THEFT. A 111% growing economy doesn't need MORE Gov-Gun THEFT so just leave the rest of the USA alone.
