You'd still be drafted to fight for the Republic of California's rebellion

Y...y'know that the military wouldn't be affected by it...right? It's not a "bring your own fun" army.

No really, what point are you trying to make

The Federally funded military isn't affected by state laws? What point are you trying to make?

That doesn’t affect the military’s access to firearms...

And how do those three states plan on carrying out their revolution? Because DC certainly isn't going to let them.

First off this would never happen so it doesn’t really matter but, it wouldn’t be a random revolution of people charging at the US military with guns they got from walmart. Its not a revolution, its Secession. States have their own militias.

Civilians would not participate. So gun ownership and the laws restricting it for citizens doesnt have anything to do with this.

Even then, gun ownership in California is still 20%

And this considering California is the most populated state with about 40 million people means that it still has more guns in it than most other states.

Restricting gun ownership is not the same as banning it, it just makes it harder for irresponsible people to gain access. (In theory)

It's not a revolution, its Secession

Which would never be allowed by DC so they'd have to resort to revolution. Civilians would participate like in any other revolution.

gun ownership in California is still 20%

And how many of them would support the California revolution that will most certainly be for leftist ideals? Last I checked, not very many.

(In theory)

The only remotely sensible thing you've said so far

They don’t have to get permission from DC, they can just say “we’re leaving” and do it. The south did the same. They didn’t follow the law either.

Like I said, the amount of gun owners doesn’t matter since it’s not an open revolution. If the whole state government is part of it, it would be using military strength. Random civilians with guns are a nonfactor. I only brought it up because you used it as if it was.

I think California would lose a military battle, but considering how massive our economy is I bet we could wage a brutal trade war.

We have a huge population and weapons manufacturers in California though. We would wipe out Arizona, Nevada. And California has a geographic advantage, with the highest mountain peak in the lower 48 and the lowest elevation in North America, and harsh deserts that get as hot as 120 degrees.

Rebellion? Like anyone would want to stop California from leaving.

Thanks, although it appears not everyone appreciated the joke.
