Back on the insular communities thing, it will be treated entirely differently if you are a citizen of a jurisdiction which is not afraid to reach out and touch those who violate your god given rights, assuming you are not actively victimizing the local population. Entirely another matter when the cops run your address or see the tags on your car are from a state that can and will reach out to defend its people, where if you make your phone call, they are dealing with sufficient "money guns and lawyers" to make things much more difficult than they would have been if they just let you roll on about your business.

That's where the practice of sovereign citizenship comes into play, and claiming citizenship in some imaginary thing is an entirely different issue from becoming the citizen of a functioning governmental system which can and will recognize your rights while protecting those rights against encroachment.

The Texas Rangers did that in relation to the Mexican goverment against the remnants of the Santa Ana regime. Remember the original Texas revolution was about gun control, mainly. There were laws passed by the Mexican government which forbade Texans from America to posses firearms.

The Texas Rangers I understand, don't call an end to their jurisdiction at the borders of the state, but over issues involving Texans.

The Israeli government is well known for protecting the rights of its citizens, and Jews in general, everywhere, but as we know, you don't get Israeli commandos showing up to get every Jewish car thief, fraud artist or drug addicted hooker out of jail. The flip side being, that they have very little respect for anyone else's national borders when it comes to hunting down someone who made policy of killing off their people.
