The retarded takes continue
Today I learned from the internet that I am an anti-gun boot-licking cuck, because I said you shouldn't lie on a 4473. Apparently, there are a lot of people on the internet that think lying to the government is just fine.
Lying to the government about information they’re not entitled to is wrong in your opinion?

Lying to the federal government is justifiably felonious?
Like, we must tell the government everything we’re doing, when, where, and how, if the government says we have to? That isn’t just an attack on the 2nd, but the 5th too. — Currermell (@currermell) June 12, 2024
People shouldn't spend time in prison for lying on a form that shouldn't exist in the first place
I have 0 obligation to be truthful to you or anyone much less government. But I get to choose who to be truthful with. Everything we say/do has consequences, whether we live in a civilized society or not. I choose wisely who I’m truthful with and you have a right to lie.

It is possible to think both of these things simultaneously, you might try it sometime — Taiko Miyazawa (@tortletech) June 12, 2024
It’s our moral obligation to lie to the government, actually, especially when representation no longer exists in the country.

I don't know how to say this enough, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, you absolutely have the right to remain silent and not testify against yourself. Once you decide to tall, if you lie on a sworn statement, you are guilty of perjury. Your choices are stay silent or tell the truth. Lying is not an option. That is because the truth is a moral good. A decent society does not encourage mendacity. Our Founding Fathers were moral men. They wanted to protect people from tyrannical government, so they enshrined the right to remain silent. They didn't give us the right to bullshit the government. These are two fundamentally different things. Yet the internet is full of fucking retards who can't differentiate that. Then there is this retarded ass take.
Illegal laws should not be obeyed

you don't have to obey an unconstitutional law, and enforcing an unconstitutional law is a crime
— Sinister Silverado (@SinisterSilver2) June 12, 2024
You missed the point completely. You’re literally saying that if a legal requirement isn’t met because it’s a gateway to exercising your 2A right, then you are the problem. Every law, form, regulation, or ordinance that hinders my right to a firearm is an infringement. Period.

I don't know who told these people, "If you think a law is illegal or unconstitutional, you don't have to obey it." Because, that's not how that works. It's the Supreme Court, not internet fuckoff randos, who decide Constitutionality. The Supreme Court upheld the 4473 in Bruen. They struck down part of it, but upheld the rest. So, as of right now, the 4473 has passed Constitutional muster. I'm completely against licenses to possess guns, like the FOID and FID. But because the Supreme Court hasn't struck them down yet, yes, I got a FOID. According to these chest thumpers, wanting to stay out of prison is loving the taste of fed boot polish. Maybe I am a Fudd, but I come from a principle of, "Be a law abiding gun owner and work to change the law." Heller, DC, Moore v Madigan, Bruen, were all decided in my adult lifetime. I watched as more than half the states in the union went Constitutional Carry. These are great advancements, and we should and will fight for more. The "I'm not going to comply with anything I disagree with, and law abiding gun owners are boot-licking cucks," doesn't advance our case and just plain fucking retarded. I only hope all these retards stand by their principles and refuse to comply with the laws they disagree with and lie to the government about it. Let them risk the virginity of their assholes in a federal penitentiary for their chest thumping.
