I would NEVER obey a law that made it illegal for me to defend myself. It violates a right that pre-existed the law itself and which is essential to repelling aggression against one's person. Whatever the merit of banning guns might be, NO government has the right to forbid ANY ONE from defending their life.

The dirty little secret of gun control laws is that even most Democrats and liberals don't really believe in them in spite of their rhetoric, which is why it's a political loser for them. Carl Rowan owned a gun in spite of railing against guns during his entire career.
Our new Democrat Senator Jim Webb more or less openly defies the ban and brings his guns into the city with him from Virginia.
