havok579257 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Some people don't think the officer broke the law. Some claim that walking down the street with a gun is 'threatening,' and threatening people with a gun is against the law. who on here(other than maybe dairy) thinks that the officer did nothing wrong. I think after numerous gun debates we know where people stand on here. Your not debating law, your debating weather its moral to arrest someone for nothing. Big difference.

Nihil Obstat Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) the law not to be arrested just because you carry a gun legally. the 2nd amendment. Well for starters it is, in my opinion, unjust to forbid peacefully carrying a gun regardless, so that sort of makes the whole question moot. I am not a legal positivist. That being the case, it is certainly a just law which protects a man's right to carry a weapon. On the other hand, if the law directed police officers to disarm peaceful people for any reason, that law would be unjust and they should disregard it.

Like politicians do, people on here just throw out things that don't relate to the subject at hand, or relate on a distant level just so they can say something. Even if its something we all know.

RCIA ~ Class of 09 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Law enforcement is entirely justified in breaking the law if the law is unjust. In fact they would be morally obligated to do so. I know this has nothing to do with the original post; but can you please specify an unjust law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
