I just read my Shooting Wire and sent them the
following reply:

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaiians
thought an invasion might be imminent. They armed
themselves, some with firearms, some with pitchforks,
some with hammer handles, and guarded the beaches and
other coastal areas. There is no evidence that the
Japanese ever seriously considered a land invasion of
Hawaii. But some consideration was given to the
possibility, with the U.S. Pacific Fleet destroyed, of
invading the Unites States mainland. The Japanese
knew that about half of the people in the U.S. owned
firearms—and decided against an invasion. In the
words of one of the Japanese who knew about the
contingency plan, “We didn’t want to step into that
quicksand!”
So here is my question: If/when Californians are no
longer able or willing to defend themselves, would it
be easier for the rest of us to defend the rest of the
United States by voting California out of the Union?
It doesn’t seem reasonable for the rest of us to
defend Californians if they are unwilling to defend
themselves or if they--through their elected
officials—render themselves unable to do so.
