That is actually the current argument being made for weed legalization. “This isn’t a federal issue, California has every right to make the consumption of canabis legal in their state!” Harris’ legalization would make it legal in states that do not have a set restriction, as well as allow federal employees, such as soldiers, to consume it in legal states.

I never understood doxxing laws. All the people do is compile publicly available data. How is it illegal in some places?

Give it back to Britain, or since it’s basically a US state elect someone willing to put the boot down. Those without dual citizenship cna become citizens of the new country / territory.

Grow and hunt, solar panels, electric pump, and a septic tank you can pay someone to clear for you. Technology didn’t stop in the 1930’s. You can also invite people to your land, fulfilling your last problem.

Same place the rhodesians went. Many stayed in the new country (Zimbabwe), many immigrated away to surrounding countries or Europe. In the case of Israel a simikar situation can happen, and mang Israelis are dual citizens.

??? He literally just said, they want Israel as a country to no longer exist.

If you can afford the machines and the associated power usage, yes. Though the magnets inside are what you really want and would be easier to set in place than the whole machine.

If someone is attacking me, I would rather take the chance of getting my gun out and ending them than trying to wrestle with them and potentially losing. If someone is attempting to kill you, I would take the great equalizer any day.

By your second point, the situation only becomes less safe for one person, the one without a gun. Having a firearm makes you more safe against a threat without one, and no more or less safe from a threat with one.

Small arms are not inherently offensive or defensive weapons. In fact a pistol is more defensive than offensive in many circumstances. The only true offensive weapons are those that cannot be used defensively, ones that cannot discriminate against targets, for example, a grenade.
