Democrats want to pass laws banning everything from straws to guns to free speech. Democrats are saying they are okay with killing you to enforce these laws. This shouldn’t surprise us. After all Democrats are also okay with killing babies in the womb and the elderly through ‘assisted suicide murder.’
It is an argument for a degree of humility as we choose which of the many things we may not like to make illegal. Behind every exercise of law stands the sheriff – or the SWAT team – or if necessary the National Guard. Is this an exaggeration? Ask the family of Eric Garner, who died as a result of a decision to crack down on the sale of untaxed cigarettes. That’s the crime for which he was being arrested. Yes, yes, the police were the proximate cause of his death, but the crackdown was a political decree.
