You are in violation of your own tag line “You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”

The reality is that individual citizens do not choose what laws to obey and which ones to declare unconstitutional.

The Body Politic does; through the Courts. The Courts have held the FFA to be constitutional, and neither your opinion, nor mine has force of law.

Sorry, you may not like it, but reality can be a bitch.

You are confusing reality with political expedience. The constitution says what it says and it doesn’t matter how many lawyers in black robed claim otherwise. People can do anything they wish as long as they are will to face the consequences of their actions, that includes either obeying unconstitutional laws or obeying them. The political class can do the same thing and pass all the unconstitutional laws they want. The reality is that one day the political class is going to face the reality of a public that is fed up. In the meantime the reality is that there are a lot of people right now that are completely fed up and wouldn’t in a million years sit on a jury and vote to convict these men.

That's just an argument for superiority of the state, period. People routinely violate the law, and as far as I'm concerned, the law merits all the disrespect it gets. When it comes to the 2nd amendment, judges are dishonest lying hacks, and I put Scalia right in there with the bulk of them.

But you are right, that the state will use all the force violence at its disposal, in order to obtain conformity, and to exact revenge. Get caught in violation of the GFSZA, or NFA, etc., and you are screwed.
