How many times in this discussion and many others has it been quoted, "Criminals don't follow laws"? Nothing new here!
What happens when the laws make criminals out of law abiding gun owners?
Take for instance the new laws in NY state. Many right here will become criminals if they continue to pound their chests and refuse to obey these ridiculous new laws once they are enacted.
I absolutely disagree with these new restrictions in almost every way but, and this is what gets me slammed every time right here, I would rather comply with the laws and maintain my right to Keep and Bear Arms than to get busted and lose all of these rights. Many here call this giving in while I think it is the smarter way to go about our business and work on getting these laws repealed.
Keep in mind, once you have a felony involving guns in this state you are banned from owning guns-PERIOD! Thumping your chest will do little more than leave bruises.
I still have hope that an injunction will be handed down but I am also making arrangements to store any banned items with pals in less restrictive states until things blow over or get turned over.
As gun owners we are completely free to hang together or even just hang alone but we are still hanging either way. Makes very little sense to me.
There is a right way and a wrong way to show opposition and until I see the revolutionary flag raised I'll be sticking to my plan because no one here can help me when I am hanging.
I personally feel for you. At first, I was wondering what you were talking about, but then I looked at your location.
I am not personally asking nor advocating anyone to break any laws that are passed. That is way beyond the discussion I was hoping to have.
I want to discuss new laws that are not currently enacted at the federal level, and why someone would be in favor of the federal government passing a new law.
Again, all the best to you NY brother in arms. I do hope an injunction comes down in NY for you all soon as well.
