State legislators that have passed these laws are not ignorant to what they are doing. How does one break past them besides the courts? Simply ignoring the new registration laws in Connecticut has amounted to "Irish Democracy", though that model can't be followed everywhere. Passive resistance to a law is much easier that an active act of defiance. The "law" in question will be enforced quick in an active defiance. This would put us right back into the courts with the State claiming you violated the law and you claiming that the law is not valid.

The real issue is one of organization. If even 10 million of the 100 million gun owners said that they are not giving up their guns, and if anyone comes for them, they'll kill them, it would make the state think twice. We'd also need people willing to die for our cause. I have no children, so I am willing. I don't know how many else are.

It's intermediate scrutiny smelling like rational basis.

The non-compliance by NYers and CT folk to NOT register their arms and magazines is evidence of this.

The judiciary is always there when you need it to back tyranny. The cases when it comes on the right side of the constitution are priceless because they are rare.
We need more Alex Kozinskis and fewer Ruth Ginsburgs.
That's why I'm such a fan of Russian immigrants. People who have lived under liberalism/Marxism/Communism know what a disaster it is.

I stand with John Locke.
No IS can be applied. It was not. The antis claim that unless you have no regulation at all you can have any regulation at all. Its crap and they know it. But do we know it ? They set up and defeat the same strawman each time. The way out is to call them on it. The court is using RB and a weak RB at that.
One day RB will be applied to the entire bill of rights.. liberals we be the first jailed under the new world order.. so there is that

non-compliance from 80% or more of gun owners would be a great evidence wouldn't it. Because CT had a few thousand and 50 magazine registered is
NON Compliance in my book.. The state surley can't put everyone in jail or take everyone to court. Who will be among the 1st few??
Is the vast majority willing to stand up so to speak and be Oath Keepers or Oath Breakers?
Only 3% turned the tide in 1776.

You're right IMO, and I believe there are cases to be made at state supreme courts (like SC's ban on carry for certain non-residents) which can help create deeper splits. As far as an AWB split-I'd put my money on Wilson v. Cook County and the IL Supreme Court overturning that one.
In this case the judge helped us-the case moved swiftly and the judge did admit assault weapons were in common use.
Where he screwed up was basically taking "inferences" that by banning these guns it would help a crime problem and the argument that other weapons are available(think DC's argument in Heller). I didn't see any stats to back up this claim.
