Interesting twist to Heller vs. DC

Post by dukesean »

I was reading an interesting article about how Montana politicians have filed a brief expressing that a SCOTUS interpretation of the 2A as a collective right and not an individual right would directly violate the contract between Montana and the USA when it joined the Union. In other words, MT can secede if SCOTUS rules in favor of DC...

While Texas is my first choice for places to live, I have always wondered what it would be like to live in Montana.

I wonder if it would require applying for dual citizenship?

I could handle Montana. NICE!

Still reading the article, BTW.

If they did secede and become their own country, what would they call it...Montana-stan? ;-)
