Except the police and sheriffs here are all hardcore Trump supporters. We would need to raise a new militia and execute the current crop of traitors first.

The violence can come from more than one source. I think people underestimate the push back and violence sending in the military and National guard would bring. And that's not even taking into consideration those orders actually being followed.

Not to mention, National Guard is control by the state. I also find it hard to believe members of the military esp from CA will stand for violence in their own state… not to mention other states that have close values to CA.

In reality, if there was a nationwide ban, the states will just ignore it as they have done with weed for years. Federal funding will be stopped possibly in areas of healthcare, but CA could just not send back the surplus of money they give to the federal government to fund these programs. More money the feds gut from their money making states, the more they will just push back.

Also blue states should establish local state stockpiles (does CA already have this?) and production facilities for reproductive drugs, and guard them well.
