Are you trying to suggest the government is supposed to work for the people and not the other way around? Blasphemer!

Exactly. You actually thought correct. Congratulations.

When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
What do you think Public Servant means, government employees serve you, you pay them for their job. Police are part of the government.

But this doesn't work like it should because America has been hijacked and compromised by foreign and private interests, possibly with extraterrestrial origin.

Now that you know that, makes it more clearer why did the resistance had such problem with BLM, because those armed med were not law-enforcement, but contractors. While those contractors clearly operated above the law doing stuff the police is trained not to, they also went over the limits in their "court order" - they weren't suppose to destroy property, such as the water pumps and other installations that was paid and constructed by the Bundies, not the government.

Why are "border" checkpoints controversial, because they aren't law-enforcement, it's just an agency slapping "officer" on their employees, and their "field manuals"

All these agencies operate on their own many times above the law they suppose to.

The irony right there.

US Declaration of Independence

Who oversees the Government and thus the law-enfrocement? The People.

Since - according to you - it's your "duty" to revolt against the American government, please let us know when and where this revolution of yours is starting. I wanna make sure I'm well clear of the action when you and your fellow feeble-minded "patriots" get your asses kicked.

I think Spidey has to use a little hyperbole to get the point across,

No, he really, really doesn't. As someone in favor of legalization, people like Spidey give me pause every time they post on the issue and make me wonder if I need to rethink my stance. Every time it comes to the gun debate and he opens his mouth, he gives off the vibe of the kind of person who is going to be a page 3 headline, someone who is going to go around picking fights in the hopes he gets to be "afraid for his life" so he can "stand his ground", someone who is just waiting and hoping for the opportunity to kill someone without getting in trouble for it, that having a gun for him isn't self-defense but power fantasy and that one day he is going to act it out.

Spidey embodies the absolute worst of gun culture and it is the kinds of things he says that the anti-gun crowd latch onto when pushing for regulation. You could make a commercial for gun control using nothing but Spidey quotes and the caption "is this who you want armed in your neighborhood?" I get the whole us vs. them mentality, but when you defend Spidey you become part of the problem with the image of guns in the US and the public at large, that by supporting Spidey you give the appearance of agreeing with his bombast. He needs to be called out by legalization supporters because if we don't distance ourselves from our lunatic fringe, we become defined by them.

This deserves to be quoted again. :thumbsup:

While I don't disagree that Spidey's pro gun comments do come off as "trigger finger itching", I hardly think that sentiment is the root of the gun's image problem. It is seen as a killing machine, used by murderers. 1000 Spidey's can equal the damage done by one suburban middle class, white neighborhood shooting. If we tallied up all the number of dead in school shootings in the last two decades, it wouldn't equate to a single year of gun deaths. But, that is what we fear the most.

Look at assault weapons. They are easily the most fears, but hand guns contribute to the overwhelming majority of gun deaths.

You need to update your chart to expand on the "extraterrestrial" part.
