Err.. EVERYTHING the gov't does is at the point of a gun, sir..
Don't pay taxes, they come to take you to jail, at the point of a gun (unless there are millions of people, in which case they're forced to change the budget)
Don't carry driver's lic., they come to get you, at the point of a gun.
Don't follow the laws when immigrating to the US, they... well, they give you amnesty, actually -g-
The point is that gov't coercion is always through threat of violence, if you protest enough. Which is why it is essential there be a greater level of political participation, rather than the preferred method of "let us do everything, don't worry your purty little head" of Washington, which produce policies amenable to the elites in Washington, and forced on the rest of us. |
