It really wouldn't be hard to just tell the feds to pound sand and fuck off, then carry on and do our own shit and they would, because they're pussies... Just say "we're operating like a state (with different gun laws, a death penalty, etc...) and if you don't like it, bring out rainbow brigade to settle it." It would take fuck all but backing and supporting someone with balls instead worrying about the deranged opposition's feelings and maybe getting called a name.
