I'll amplify on my above comment. The thing to remember is, the government is the only entity which can legally use force. It makes it fundamentally different from any other other entity. Over the most minor transgression, from a traffic violation to getting behind in your propery taxes, agents of the government, LEOs, are obligated to initate enforcement. It is not optional for them. If you resist, and carry your resistance far enough, you'll be killed, legally. It happens every day. When it's an armed robber or a carjacker, fine. But, when you stand the police off at your door to prevent being evicted from home for not paying taxes, and refuse to be yield, you move into the same category as the bank robber. You've become a felon and if you don't back off, you're going to die - over a traffic ticket or a few hundred dollars in property taxes! Blaming the LEO won't cure the problem. Blaming him is like blaming the knife for it's users lack of care. The founders pounded on the notion of limited government. Sadly, if you talk about limited government today, you'll often be branded as "anti government," or a militia nut. The way to preserve or restore our liberty to continue monkeying with our beloved knives, our firearms, our right to self defence, free speech, (what is political correctness but an attack on free speech), and controlling a government which is snooping into our bank accounts monitoring our e-mail, confiscating our stuff in the name of a "drug war," etal, is not yelling at LEOs, but getting Congress to clip the wings of the regulatory agencies. We need to Limit their authority, limit their funds, limit their power. This is not about knives, guns, speech or whatever, it's about the size and power of the federal government. Our votes must go for people who will limit government or we'll lose it all. Again, my .25 worth.
