To paraphrase @Alexx1401 ; the voters long ago agreed that rights were just privilieges
So... my position has always been... abolish the ATF/BATFE, repeal the NFA1934, GCA1968,FOPA1986 laws, in part or whole (preferably whole). But until then; follow the laws best one can... letter of the NFA laws notably do not include LOP, OAL(except AOWs), or precisely what constitutes a "shoulder stock" other than "designed to be fired from the shoulder"
Looking at CO, MA, CT, where recent laws were passed and certain classes of guns and magazines became "illegal", and the amazingly low compliance with lax enforcement... civil disobedience is indeed a legal tactic and strategy to undermine such odious regulations and laws. Honestly; "defunding the police" may work well in our favor; as long as police are not replaced by organizations similar to the Nazi era Brownshirts why may it work in our favor as gun owners? If they can't raise the funds to pay police officers to enforce their laws, and if the Fed Agents have to get the permission from County Sheriffs to go onto their jurisdictions (see Second Amendment Protection/ Sanctuary Ordinances); then that leaves them in a pickle and it gets punted to Federal District Courts or SCOTUS eventually to decide a 10thA Amendment issue of States/County rights vs Federal Jurisdictions.
