Greetings:
If you want respect for the laws, you won't get it by murdering citizens who have the guts to fight back against your government. If you want respect for the laws, make the laws respectable.
Countries are absolutely justified in fighting back, by any necessary means, when their sovereign territory is attacked by soldiers sent by a hostile government. Citizens are equally justified in fighting back, by any necessary means, when their rights are attacked by cops sent by a hostile government.
In case you haven't noticed, you have two buttons on your voting station. Nowadays, those buttons represent your choice: Call off the War on Drugs now, or wait until more cops get themselves killed in action first.
If you're one of the members who keeps pushing the second button, in order to win elections, you are buying votes with cops' blood. How long will you continue to do so? As long as the cops are stupid enough to continue furnishing it?
As time goes on, more citizens will realize that the Second Amendment wasn't written for sportsmen. In Maryland, the slaves were freed with ballots, but in Georgia, they had to be freed with bullets. Whatever works.
The line between the inherent natural rights of outvoted citizens and the authority some other citizens delegated to your government runs between acts that don't violate anybody's rights, and acts that do. Selling and enjoying drugs doesn't violate anybody's rights.
When the Freedom Fighters make themselves a force to be reckoned with, the two buttons will represent an ultimatum: Total compliance with libertarian demands or total extermination of your cops. Which button will you press then?
How many cops do drug dealers have to exterminate before the Georgia Legislature understands that drug enforcement will not be tolerated? All of them, or only half?
If you don't want cops to get themselves killed enforcing unjust laws, repeal them.
The Hon. Tom Alciere Nashua, New Hampshire
