"I think he is encouraging civil disobedience. I think he's encouraging people to break the law,"

Please explain to me how protecting yourself from DEATH, encourages civil disobedience? I guest when someone breaks into my home at 3 in the morning, with the expresses desire to kill me I'm supposed to be a good citizen and allow them to kill me? Once again, the mind of a liberal at work for you.

This quote worried me even more:

Warned [City of Chicago Attorney Mara] Georges, "if he's going to violate the law, we are going to have to very, very fiercely protect our laws."

Threats like this from Chicago bigwigs usually get followed by some ugliness.

Isn't it interesting that she's more interested in protecting Chicago's unConstitutional laws than in 'allowing' private citizens to protect their own lives and families?

Actually he is defending the most important of civil rights, the natural right to self defense. It is the most important of civil rights by way of mapping a correspondence between civil rights and the Hierarchy of Needs theory of management first described by Abraham Maslow (1943) and made popular by others such as McGregor. Note that physical security forms the base of the Needs Hierarchy.

And presumeably, Mr. Birch is taking a stand on behalf of all people, not just one particular minority or another.
