Historic reference to Civil Disobedience against Government


T. H. O' Sullivan

Recommended Posts

On April 16, 1963, while sitting in a Birmingham, Alabama jail, Martin Luther King Jr. included these words in a letter:

 

"One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

 

The letter is contained in the archives of the African Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania.

The best place to start is with the only political party that truly believes in the 2nd Amendment;

 

 

1.6 Self-Defense

 

The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights — life, liberty, and justly acquired property — against aggression. This right inheres in the individual, who may agree to be aided by any other individual or group. We affirm the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and oppose the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of self-defense. We oppose all laws at any level of government requiring registration of, or restricting, the ownership, manufacture, or transfer or sale of firearms or ammunition.
