行联邦法律，但是他也不能因为他碰巧认为他们是违宪而违背联邦法律。至于扣留联邦官员，南方城市曾经也尝试过多次，但是都是以失败而告终的。
The second is a misguided notion that the second amendment is the best and surest constitutional protection against tyranny. As Conor Friedersdorf sagely noted, the Bill of Rights offers much more effective and less costly checks on government power. There is the fourth amendment, which protects against unreasonable search andseizure; the fifth amendment, which guarantees due process; the sixth amendment, which establishes fair trials; and so on. When these rights were hollowed out during the war on terror—by acts of Congress, the courts and even through executive orders—where was the outrage from those who see tyranny in every gun law?
第二个误导的观点是第二条修正案是反对暴政的最好最可靠的宪法保护。美国记者Conor friedersdorf贤明的支出，《权利法案》提出了更加有效而低成本的方法来制约政府的权利。第四修正案：不受无理搜查和扣留的权利。第五修正案：保障正当程序；第六修正案建立公开的审判；等等。当这些权利在反恐战争中被国会、法院的行为，甚至总统行政令架空的时候，那些在一切控枪法律中看到暴政的人，怎么就不见他们义愤填膺呢？
The second amendment has a lizard-brain appeal: it is sexier to imagine yourself a lone soldier for justice defending your loved ones against an oppressive, tyrannical government than it is to imagine yourself protesting warrantless wiretapping. Mr Garrison approvingly cites a letter written by another sheriff, which states: \criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws.%unobjectionable. I wonder if he had the same response to the Patriot Act.
美国宪法第二条修正案具有独特的性魅力：比起抗议非法窃听，想象自己是一名孤独而正义的战士，为了保护所爱的人免受残暴政府的压迫去战斗，显然要更性感。加里森先生十分满意地引用了一封另一位县行政司法长官的信，信中写道：我们绝不允许和容忍罪犯的行为——不管他们的罪行多么地令人发指——促使政客们通过一些法律来侵犯守法负责公民的自由。多么激动人心的话语呀，并且完全没有异议。我怀疑他是否对《美国爱国者法案》有相同的反应呢？
