This court (as many other courts are) is big on Stare decisis. Since the contract between Montana and the United States is well over 100 years old it would constitute settled law which held that RKBA/2nd Amendment is an individual right.
So they would secede to follow the constitution and then attack the country with a nuke? what would be the point? They would forever be the bad guys killing innocent people because they wanted something their way. and as for forgein powers who? columbia? morality aside once you nuke someone there is no going back.......
If the feds are attacking people who want to peacefully secede who'd really be the bad guys?
“Whether the following provisions — D.C. Code secs. 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02 — violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?”

I belive thats what's called a pyrrhic victoryRussia, China, N. Korea, most of the middle east...
Guys, launching the nukes would require the cooperation of people outside those states. Even if the launch codes and votes were properly sent to the missiles, any higher command authority could cancel the commands. It's a moot point. The worst thing the states could do if they were to secede would be to mess with the nuclear forces. That would not only invite massive retaliation, it would justify it. No, better to let that sleeping dog lie and assure the Feds that they wouldn't be interfered with.
Well that's a tough question frankly. It's clearly illegal to secede, and a violation of the Constitution to do so.
Ya think? Calm down there dude, nobody smart enough to even start on that would even consider it.
Anybody talking about nukes as part of a succession is not welcome here. Better?
A violation of what part of the Constitution?It's clearly illegal to secede, and a violation of the Constitution to do so.
They (the gov) might nuke civvies just to make a point.
?????? If it ever comes to that, then we're all done for, all bets are off and the guys who would do it would know that. I think that's an extremely unlikely scenario.

secession is very possible. Seizing of nukes and a good deal of military arms and having the support of those that can use it is very possible. Mobilizing to repel anything sent in from DC is very possible.
