2. Correlative fail.

Thousands of children are shot every year in hundreds of other counties across the nation that don't want to secede. Tuesdays vote will show that the vast majority of people in this county don't want to secede. I live 3 miles from where this happened, all my neighbors think the secessionist movement is bullshit. The secessionist movement is about oil and gas rights, not gun rights. If there's talk of gun rights, it's ancillary. It's not the push behind the 51st state. If you recall, they only wanted the 51st state when citizens started to oppose fracking.

Here's a link to an article about when the 51st state "movement" started: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/26/most-in-favor-of-51st-sta_n_3658977.html

Note that there is not one mention of gun rights. Gun rights only started being mentioned after people started dog-piling on the secessionists about their bullshit idea.
