"One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws, but conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." Martin Luther King We do, indeed, have a responsibility to disobey unjust laws. However, if you advise someone else to do it, you'll end up in the slammer. Chances are, since we're dealing with guns on this thread, that you'll lose your guns since the "crime" of advising others to disobey the law is probably a felony (or could be cooked into one). That is how the State enforces unjust laws, by punishing their opponents.

I understand what you are saying. I was simply relating the thoughts of someone who, for better or worse, is highly regarded in our nations history. That's all.
If any gungrabber wants to make more of it than that, I'll start yelling "racism"! $;-)

All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.

I say, carefully, because our enemies will do everything in their power to oppose, harass, and generally make our lives as miserable as possible.
