And it really isn't even about the "nuts" or the nuts, as it is about the fact that any imposition of government control contains within it the idea of enforcement. Its not "some nut might go crazy and resist", its

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

Its the fact that people will sometimes respond forcefully to force and control and doing so isn't initiating force, imposing the control is.

Edit - Not that I'd support using force to respond to force in this situation, doing so is foolish, and likely to only have negative consequences for all involved.
