The problem with Gun control
Look how easily people dismiss them. Not knowing that them being sovereign besides the liberty they decide to share by compact. Is the natural way of things. Most people think federal governments are totally supreme. That is exactly opposite of the truth.
Yes, well after they saw how well having all the states having their own freedom worked out (and they called it a "civil" war) I think they decided that there was altogether too much sovereignty going around.
The naming conventions are not hugely relevant.
(My country has states....they do have some freedom in how they govern themselves, but it's not much (except for the NT, which is whole different ball game, especially when it comes to the land councils, but nevermind that)
The reality is, (what with the magic of "automobiles" and all) what one state does affects the whole, and all the paperwork in the world doesn't change that, so one way or another, we all have to be on the "same page" so to speak.
No, Kyrin.. I know they don't. If they did, the world would be VASTLY different
Really?
I can't think of anything I'd change.
If you had the Big Seat for a day, what would you do in the world to make it tick-along smoother?
If those intentions are sinister do we ban govts? No we remove the individuals.
Don't you?
We do.
Try joining a Motorcycle club.
It was too hard to find all the criminals (and prove they did anything wrong), so we just banned organisations of people who weren't us. Easier that way

They might not like it, but they can deal with it- They've got cooler bikes and haircuts than us, but we have more guns

If The Force is sovereign then so are we. Since it's where everything comes from. Government doesn't create anything..

As for these American States, the causes behind our interstate war were many. Sovereignty and Slavery being the crux.. but it didn't occur naturally. As most wars are, this war was instigated by radicals who wanted to centralize power.
Now most Americans don't know the truth about their nationality. Not even 300 years and most have already forgotten.. totally disconnected..

If we are sovereign because we come from the Force, and all things come from the Force, doesn't that also mean the government is also sovereign?

But that's like saying grandkids aren't related to their grandparents. If we are byproducts of the Force's will made manifest, then is not our creation yet another product of that creation?

I barely know what I had for breakfast.
Anyway, way off track here, (but I might win a brownie point with Kyrin)
The "Truth" of yourself is determined somewhere between your first and last breaths - the rest is academic.
Is the history of what some dirt farmer did 300 years ago at all relevant to the decisions you made this morning? Now? Next?
Well, don't be a tyrant all your life, James lol..
Is that what I am?
Oh....
And yet no one seems to do anything (effective) about it.....

I've never agreed that the force is sovereign though. Please reread my post.

It's a hard subject to speak about and an Even harder subject to take a side and express ones ideals and opinions about it without finding an argument. It is said " a lock isn't made for a thief its to keep the honest , honest" I can't even begin to list every possible example of everything , don't have time and it's not to me to ever speak for anyone , last night me and the wife practiced a very effective meditation process to calm our anger ... one on one. It's not gun controll but then again, it is . lol controll ... I see the lack way to often in my life so rather than blame , well I take my aim, at my self and controll ... me . That's where the diffrence CAN be found . Can you be the diffrence your life is needing ? If it needs it at all? My hope is that as we see the broad scale of violence and in balance we morn , yes morn , but also take action, where ... right there where we are at . The now of our life's. May what we see make us better Jedi ... to those directly near to us !

Yes! I couldn't have said it better myself. Lol
