Instapundit's idea of civil disobedience?

Instapundit's idea of civil disobedience?
Wynn points to cases like Lori Stanley, who took out an order of protection against her ex-boyfriend Gregory Clayton. Clayton later killed Stanley with his own gun.

Ricky Welker was ordered to give up his gun after his brother, Stephen, took out an order of protection against him. But there was no procedure to hand it over, and Welker later shot and killed his brother.

Ah yes, the highest form of patriotism!

About Me

Charles Chapman
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant." -- Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies, Vol. I, Chapt. 7, n.4, at 265.
