Looks like it's the old dispute about 2A and I kind of understand them. Last time I heard, Oregon voted to outlaw mags with more than 10 bullets. Rural folks have disagreed and resolved the conflict in a civil manner: by declaring that they will have different laws from the big city Oregon.

Not sure what they've done in practice here from what you wrote. Are you implying that they made a public declaration that they would simply choose to ignore such a law?

As is their right. Self-determination is an American value.

EDIT: downvoted by those who believe voting and determining your area's form of governance is anti-American!

We fought a war about "determining your area's form of governance." As I recall, the south lost that one.
