He's the beast

Jocko, I'll need another shipment to Costa Rica (where the hell is Costa Rica anyhow?) Have to look it up. Imagine there's an extra charge for that one but go ahead.

[MLESa7990]

What is this showing?

[les strat]

Not according to your beloved Obama when campaigning in 2007!

Yep. This, he did.

It's not like it surprised me. Non-citizens of the US are not up on things like that.

Texas was an independent republic before becoming a state, the only state to be so, and was brought into the United States under a treaty. I seem to remember that there was a provision in that treaty that allowed Texas to secede under certain circumstances. Am I remembering it wrong?

No, that's a myth.

However, Texas can legally divide itself up into FIVE separate states and send a total of TEN senators to Washington.

Now that certainly would annoy those DC sumbiches, wouldn't it?

[Bawanna]

Ok, I vote we do that! Wait I don't live in Texas but I do have a hat, can I vote? I mean if I'm alive and a legal US resident?

[Armybrat]

Now that's funny. You've been dabbling into some of that newly legalized weed.

I lived in Texas for a bit and I can tell you they won't be going blue. They won't be red either if things don't turn around. I mean this as a compliment when I say they are the kings of F___ you. :53:

You got that right.

Sure, we'll let ya vote here - half of Mexico does anyway.

[jocko]

Yeah, I knew about the five states thing but this thread was about secession. I still think the secession issue was in the original treaty, but I haven't looked it up. Also as someone else brought up, Texas has already seceded once.

I wonder if anyone who votes for secession can still legally answer "No" on question 11j of Form 4473 Part I?

You know, the question that asks "Have you ever renounced your United States citizenship?" on the paper thingy you sign your name on (and therefore give your honor-bound word to the accuracy of) when buying a gun?

[Bawanna]

Never gave that much thought, its the sanity question that always trips me up, I always have to ask for a definition of same.

[Scoundrel]

Every time I check "No" on that question, I think about the folks in Freedom County, WA, and about how they lie on their applications when they buy guns.

[Tinman507]

Since the US Government is not likely to recognize the secession, they won't look at it as renouncement. So since they're calling the shots, you're not answering untruthfully.

[Scoundrel]

Heck, even the rest of Snohomish County doesn't recognize the secession.

But the question is not asking whether you've legally seceeded from the US or not.
It is asking whether you've renounced your citizenship. And, since these folks have declared themselves separate, whether the government recognizes this or not, they have renounced their citizenship.

I don't really know, I'm not a lawyer, but that's how I see it.
