“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”
—Thomas Jefferson
NOTE:
...I should have said - “commonly attributed to Thomas Jefferson”. While it does not appear in any of his writings which I have in my possession, it is often attributed to him, and it certainly represents his beliefs on the issue.
And then there is this, which I think is particularly apropos given the racist roots of the “gun control” movement in this country:
“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
—Martin Luther King, Jr. - Letter from Birmingham Jail
