[QUOTE="sanjuro893, post: 4119194, member: 4491"] Where does that come from? This enshrining of "the law is the law" and putting it on a pedestal like that and thinking we're morally upright for simply obeying a speed limit? Thomas Jefferson said we should ALWAYS question our laws and "if it's unjust, it's not only right that we disobey it, we are obliged to do so." (Paraphrasing) Now Im not saying "traffic laws are unjust" but what happens when bans on the owning and carrying of firearms becomes the law? What about the laws in California saying you have to give your kid "gender-affirming care" or you can lose custody of them? When did we take that turn to think like a bunch of 18th century British Tories and start equivocating morality with obedience to civil authority? I've never understood it and it seems completely un-American to me. [/QUOTE]
