YAWN --- South Carolina bill to seced from the rest of us-Repuke stuff again

— South Carolina debated seceding from the Union more than 150 years ago, one of the opening salvos of the Civil War. Now, the topic has come up again, amid a national debate over firearms and gun rights.

A trio of state House Republicans on Thursday quietly introduced a bill that would allow lawmakers to debate seceding from the U.S. “if the federal government confiscates legally purchased firearms in this State.”

Rep. Mike Pitts, the measure’s chief sponsor, acknowledged Friday in an interview with The Associated Press that the bill has no chance of passage this year but pledged to continue to raise the issue based on what he described as a defense of the Bill of Rights.


“Without a Bill of Rights, our nation is not what it is,” Pitts said .“I see a lot of stuff where people even talk about totally repealing the Second Amendment, which separates us from the entire rest of the world"

Well, the asshat has that part at least right, it does separate us from the entire rest of the world.
