I'm not convinced a civil war would break out (or could even be justified) if the 2nd were repealed through a duly constitutional amendment process. I would hate that and I would fight it with every ounce of political energy I had, but I would have to respect it as at least being within the bounds of the law. And, I can't fathom 3/4 of the states agreeing to it.

I think what could trigger it would be the left passing a comprehensive ban of some type or some unduly restricting licensing or other requirements, or something like that, which functionally neutered the 2nd but which SCOTUS improperly let stand.

They've been doing this on other issues for several decades now so the precedent has already been set. What they can't get through legislation they simply keep pushing until they find enough judges to deem it so. It doesn't help that they've already corrupted the educational institutions, the bureaucracies, and the courts in their favor. It's going to come to a head sooner or later.

It made me wonder if other states would do the same thing... If they try to get rid of the 2nd amendment, Texas would be allowed to secede per the treaty that was signed. One requirement in the treaty was that the constitution was to be upheld... If the govt fails to do so, do you think Texas would secede, or if one state seceded do you think others would follow suit and we end up with a 2nd civil war?

If a triggering event occurred that was sufficient to cause one state to secede, I think others would follow suit. What that event is, I don't know exactly but I could see it being some level of federal infringement on gun rights without a formal repeal of the 2nd Amendment. Depending on how this Masterpiece Bakery ruling goes, some really bad things could spiral out of control from that. And of course, the relentless federal spending and meddling almost has to reach a breaking point at some point.

imho, we are closer to a civil war than most of us want to admit.
