Ted, if you ignore federal law, you are no longer a "law-abiding gun owner".

As Rosa Parks showed, unconstitutional laws are not worthy of respect.

And let's not forget Martin Luther King who said:

"I have a dream--that one day mentally ill people will be able to purchase semi-automatic weapons with no restrictions..."

Well, plenty of conservatives quite passionately believe in the above as well. Conservatives also believe quite strongly that criminals just out of prison after convicted of crimes with the aid of guns should have the right to purchase all the guns they want. After all, the reasoning goes, if you deny one or two groups of people a gun, when will it stop before everyone can't have a gun?

Unconstitutional laws are not laws.

Malcolm X said it a lot better without uttering a single word.

If your equating the 2nd amendment with rosa parks I just have to ask really???!!
If you own a gun are you allowed to sit in the front or the middle of a bus ?
Are you allowed to eat at a restaurant and not have to site in a "guns only section" ?
Do you drink from separate water fountains or shop at separate stores ?
Do you have cops blasting you with fire hoses while have police dogs sent after you ?
I'm not going to even ask about segregation in schools because kids should not be owning guns nor should anyone be bringing them in.

How oxymoronic can you get? The guy who invokes the constitutionality of an executive order involving guns and his right to have them is a burnt out, druggy, ex rocker!

Whoooeee, the loons are coming out from under now alrighty.

Rosa Parks ~ you're not, folks. Sorry.

It's hard for me to equate some type of limited gun regulations with slavery and the whole 'whites only' era.
