Very amusing and parts of it aren't a bad idea. However, that gun thing won't fly once you get past the coastal states. Either coast. The "flyover states" will be a bit unwilling to relinquish their firearms, as they are a way of life. Attempts to force the issue would be a reminder of the outcome of the disagreement in 1776. So with the exceptions of 5, 7, and 14, it's a good plan.

Although, in addition to Rugby and Association Football there is also Canadian Rules, Australian Rules, and Gaelic Football. So the precedent is there for American Rules as well. And yes, rugby players don't wear pads, but I dare any of them to take a hit from a defensive tackle or linebacker on an American football team. The hits are a bit different. Of course I do love me some rugby. Pro football has gotten boring in my opinion. But I digress. Other than those minor quibbles, I'm down with it.
