New Mexico Rebellion?

This is amusing. I don't approve of tax cheats, but it's good to see that people are finally standing up for themselves.
 
Gun owners of America. Jesus wept.

However, if New Mexico would like to secede from the Union and become a Mexican state - or better yet, a Republic, I'll help them pack.

Only if they take Texas with them.
 
its very sad that many folks see deadly violence as the first option, and not the last resort.

there are many democratic & peaceful means to solve such differences.

The man who shot the ranger was an Iraqi war veteran with raging PTSD. His 'baby-moma' filed for a restraining order back in July saying he was irritable, irrational, depressed, violent and suicidal. Had something been done to help this veteran with his PTSD, both he and the ranger would likely still be among us.

no, this is how criminals act.

we are a civilized society, where violence is that last resort once all reasonable democratic & peaceful means have been exhausted.

but, some folks prefer to just go straight to violence and bloodlust, like these folks in NM.
 
I think this is one of many reasons that guns sales have skyrocketed.

And it's only going to get worse.
 
I just don't understand it. What motivates someone to go straight towards fantasizing about deadly violence, to deal with political disagreemants or others issues that surely have more peaceful means of being solved?

Why do some folks feel that deadly violence is the only way to solve problems? Are we not a civilized society?

A century and a half ago these issues started. We've already fought one war over these things. Nothing has changed in the century and a half since the wrong side won that war. We've been tending our wounds and rebuilding the means to fight back. It's getting very close to being time to take another go at it.

And then of course there's those pesky firearms he didn't need to have.
 
Views on states' rights versus federal power to overrule states' rights was the cause of the civil war. Maintaining slave ownership was certainly one of the states' rights southern states felt the federal government had no business overruling, but it was also about states being unable to trade with other countries without interference and oversight from the federal government and several other state vrs federal power issues.
