The Second Amendment will serve no purpose in this situation: Obama’s Science Advisor has written that he is in favor of changing the law to make compulsory abortions legal.

You can’t use your personal gun to resist the enforcement of the law any more than a car thief can use his gun to resist laws against stealing.

The Second Amendment is a not a license to break the law. If you resist enforcement of the law by using a gun, you are a criminal, whether or not your gun is legally owned.

Of course not, but this specific law would clearly be wrong, unconstitutional, I daresay evil (I’m an agnostic so I don’t throw that around lightly) and the exact type of overreach and abuse of power that the founders had in mind when trying to limit government and keep the body politic armed. Such a law being passed, is righteous cause for civil disobedience or insurrection. If you “go along with it” as far as I’m concerned you are no better than Germans that lived next to Concentration Camps and pretended they knew nothing.

If things got to this point, I would either leave the country or I’d be listed as a “rebel” if I didn’t. There’s no 2 ways about this. I relish the thought of neither. I have no desire to “play Army” against Nazi-like government forces.

If the concept of limited government and the 2nd Amendment had any respect at all, such a law would never even be considered except for in some spooky dystopian sci-fi flick.
