As for your other comments, you seem badly confused. ALL laws, on ALL subjects, in ALL jurisdictions remain on the books and are apparently valid, until the authority which passed them, repeals them -- or until a court of competent jurisdiction declares them unconstitutional (under US or state constitutions).
This is what it means to call something a "law." You argue that by pointing this out I somehow agree with or support all such laws. That is abject nonsense. It's like if I stated the fact that New Orleans has been destroyed by a hurricane you would claim that I "agreed with" or "supported" that result.
I cannot make it any plainer than that. Have you got the point now?

I have "done my research" on the constitutional aspects of martial law. Apparently you have not. You should read the Supreme Court decisions on that precise subject during and after the Civil War.
I have. In fact the link I gave you at post #171 refers to those decisions in its conclusions. -- Obviously you did not bother to read it.

Are you aware that Marshall refuted that authoritarian type argument back in 1803, Marbury v Madison? No one in the USA is bond to obey 'laws' repugnant to the Constitution. In fact officers of the court, like you, are bound by oath to fight such repugnant laws.

You are not stating facts about the law, you are opining about martial law & states rights to confiscate arms.

I think everyone, by now, gets your 'point'; - more than you realize. Thanks for helping to make it evident.
