This approach is absolutely justifiable, considering that Dr. Ruler expands on his idea of the idea in the "Letter." The fundamental commence of common rebellion is that an individual has the duty to challenge the laws of the state when the human law negates certain prevalent standards.

    Abramski v the United States is a case that questioned the legality of a lawful gun-purchaser buying a gun for another lawful gun-owner who resides in a different state and inaccurately listing that they are the actual buyer. Due to the Supremacy clause (86), it was up to the Supreme Court to make the final decision by looking further into the Gun Control Act of 1968, which was established to try and stop felons from obtaining a gun, and determining exactly what it prohibits. In 2009, Bruce Abramski bought a gun for his uncle, Angel Alvarez, because after his years of service as a police officer, he was eligible for a discount at a local Virginia gun store. Before he purchased the weapon, three federally-licensed gun dealers told Abramski to…
