I’m hoping that there could be a legitimate discussion, and if this has been talked about previously I apologize for not finding the discussion, about unconstitutional laws and the appropriate response. The easiest example to reference is obviously the second amendment, but this extends to to freedom of speech or religion or any of our god given rights. When politicians talk about banning and confiscating firearms, it’s easy for people to say “from my cold dead hands.” It’s a situation that isn’t actually unfolding, there are no consequences. But as a husband and father, and law abiding citizen, I don’t know what I would do if that type of law was passed. I believe that the government doesn’t grant rights, that the constitution was intended to define what the government can’t take away, but I also can’t provide for my family from prison. I’m curious as to what others, especially those in a law enforcement or military role, would consider an appropriate response, or what you would actually do, not just an emotional or knee-jerk response. And saying that police won’t come to your door just isn’t true, if they want to they will find someone willing.
