2A Sanctuary Movement starting to spread to other states

Illegal immigrants. Something folks like to leave off.
Yep.

Yup. People can't be illegal. Sorry. And the law is wrong, not the immigrants-- just like some of the new laws about guns are wrong.

Can we stick to 2A Sanctuary Movement?

Thanks.

Not much to say about it. It's pure politics, it's not law, it's not guns, and the hypocrisy it reveals is one of the best reasons this board says it doesn't do politics.

I guess illegal is illegal no matter how you slice it and serve it up.

Yup. The law certainly has no monopoly on right and wrong. Laws that used to exist were shown to be wrong, and are no more. Legal or constitutional does not necessarily equal right. Illegal or unconstitutional does not necessarily equal wrong.

The question is are you willing to break the law? After that it gets complicated. Fast.

Are you willing to break the law if the law is wrong? The hard question is are you willing to break the law if it's not clear whether the law is wrong or not?

Another hard question is are you willing to break a law that's constitutional, but wrong?

How do you decide the difference between right and wrong? What if what you believe is right and wrong is different from what the courts decide is lawful?

And what if what you believe is right and wrong changes?

Not to even mention the cost...

How far will you take it? Will you get arrested? Have your weapons confiscated? What will you do then?

Will you go back out, and get arrested again?

Personally, I'm too liberal to be a good conservative, and I'm too conservative to be a good liberal. I will and do break law that I believe is wrong, provided the law is significant (I don't, for instance, speed simply because how fast one can travel isn't significant) and can harm someone. Still speaking personally, the law that has me looking down the barrel of what I believe is high capacity mags; I won't comply with any ban. And I believe that here in Washington, such a ban is coming. Quite soon. Seattle is a sanctuary city for immigrants, it is absolutely not a sanctuary for anything having to do with guns.

Jammersix, if you want to rant about your liberal views and Seattle being a sanctuary city for immigrants, how about starting a new thread?

This is a gun forum and we are kinda interested in talking about gun related issues and right now, more specifically how we can "keep" our guns.

And this from forum rules - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?pages/code-of-conduct/

"1. All topics and posts must be related to firearms or 'Right to Keep and Bear Arms' (RKBA) issues.

6. (2) posts with no meaningful or contributory content."​

Again, can we stick to 2A Sanctuary Movement discussion?

Thanks.

I reckin' that's enough. We don't do politics, and we were unable to keep this strictly 2nd Amendment focused. Both sides got their two cents in, so I hope everyone is happy.
