What if instead of guns, it was books? Just because you deem one scenario "reasonable", according to your own subjective standard, doesn't change the principle.
When you can mow down a school full of kids with a book, we can make that comparison.
Government is coming to confiscate private property from innocent, responsible adults (you must admit that at least some of them are).
I admit nothing of the sort. Point is, the government confiscates private property all the time for the public good.
At what point does this become intolerable enough to warrant firing upon a trespasser and aggressor?
If they are acting within the confines of laws that the majority agreed upon, then, um, no. It's never justified.
What is your line in the sand, personally? At what point would you fire upon a government agent?
If he was coming to kill me or my family for no good reason. Killing over stuff, that's just crazy. But this is exactly what the gun nuts think we should all do. They want guns so they can shoots them some burglars.
