Which is called civil disobedience. MLK built a career on it.

MLK's civil disobedience was built on black inequality.

Somehow Stanley walking around with a gun on his hip as a show of defiance doesn't quite seem the same thing.

I wonder how Steve D'Ippolito will do against Stanley?

Should be a good test of how irrational Colorado's LP actually is.

It may not seem like the same thing to you, but actually it is. The meaning of the 2nd Amendment is clear from reading not only the Constitution, but numerous other writings that elaborate upon the intent. The fact that some people deliberately choose to ignore this is irrelevant, and doesn't make the ordinances any less unconstitutional than the old Jim Crow laws.

No different from Rosa Parks sitting in the front of the bus. Both are simply exercising their rights in defiance of unconstitutional laws.

It's your inability to think and reason that causes you to see things the way you do...

MLK's civil disobediance was built on a bigger topic than mere black inequality, it was built on unjust laws.

So too is Stanley's defiance.
