Stupid laws should be disregarded. Unconstitutional laws should be broken.

Summed more accurately in post 19 of Terrell.

Laws against common morals are to be broken.

It is common morality that self-defense (properly understood) is an INALIENABLE RIGHT. That's what the 2ndA was written about.

I decided to bring neither morality nor the glorious poetry of the Declaration of Independence into this, because NEITHER are the US Constitution (though they are without doubt both the foundations of that document), and NEITHER are useful points of reference for determining if a law is "stupid" (ie: needless, fruitless, silly, irrelevant, fee-good-political-hay, counterproductive, etc...)
