The Catalan region of Spain recently voted to declare independence from Spain, a move that has long been sought by many of its residents. In turn, the Spanish government has voted to do away with any autonomy the region currently has and is asserting direct control. They are even making moves to arrest the governor and the region’s legislative body.
Spain, Catalonia On Collision Course As Barcelona Votes to Seize Control | The Resurgent
UPDATE: Spain’s Senate has voted to invoke Article 155 of its Constitution, seizing direct control of Catalonia, as the Catalan parliament has voted for independence.
Just as Barcelona was trying to seal its takeover of the formerly-semi-autonomous region of Catalonia, its parliament has voted to declare independence from Spain.
An American Perspective
To put this in our terms allow me to lay out this semi-hypothetical scenario for you:
The year is 2021. The regime of President Kamala Harris has completely done away with the 10th Amendment, nationalizing the police of every state, county, and municipality, and set up a socialist country that is grinding its citizens under a steel boot of taxation as high as 90%.
After failing to convince a Supreme Court (of newly appointed justices the Harris regime has put in place after evicting Justice Gorsuch as occupying a “stolen” seat on the court) that the 10th amendment can’t be done away with so easily, the Texas state legislature votes to secede from the Union.
Federal troops invade Texas and arrest Governor Abbott and any member of the Texas legislature who voted for secession, and President Harris declares martial law in Texas.
Tell me, fellow Texans, how would that work out for Harris and her jackbooted thugs? Not very well at all. We’d be shooting very quickly, with the hundreds of thousands of veterans living in Texas leading the way.
Some might argue that we’d have no chance against the military. I hate to disillusion those people, but the US military isn’t invincible. We’re losing in Afghanistan to people far less better trained than we are. Many American veterans know exactly how to fight an asymmetrical war, since we’ve been in one. Plus, I’m not sure how eager the military will be to fight their own. But the main point here isn’t that we will one day fight our own government–it’s that we have the right to do so, thereby preventing the government from doing things that Europeans wouldn’t think twice about doing.
The problem in Catalan, not to mention the rest of Europe, is that they were disarmed long ago. They have no way of fighting Spanish troops and police. Sure, they can become insurgents, but the Spanish don’t even need tanks. Infantry will largely do, and no one in Catalan can counter.
A cautionary tale
I spoke with a man in the Netherlands last week on Twitter and he pointed out they can do nothing to defending themselves against the hordes of Islamic “refugees” flooding into their country thanks to the EU’s open borders policy. I simply told him that his country is a cautionary tale about not giving up our guns. Catalan is the same.
The 2nd Amendment is essentially all that keeps us from losing all our other freedoms. I assure you, if we give up our guns, the rest of our rights will fall in short order. This is our line in the sand. Attempts to take our guns will only result in one thing: totalitarianism. And it will be the end of everything America stands for. After all, for generations people have come here seeking freedom. Where would there be for us to go?
Nowhere.
