Call it government or rulership, God has authorized national government to enforce legitimate authority to employ deadly force for believer and unbeliever alike. That control is not limited to treason, counterfeiting, or piracy at the federal level. If in doubt, research the crimes investigated by the BATF, FBI and even the Post Office Inspectors.
I KNOW what the feds investigate and persecute. HOWEVER, if you read the Constitution, they are ONLY GIVEN JURISDICTION OVER THREE CATEGORIES OF CRIME, the ones I listed. ANYTHING else the feds get into us UNCONSTITUTIONAL, period. They have no such authority. What they have done is to USURP authority belonging to the States, local governments OR We, the People. And you are willing to tolerate this? Know that I for one will NOT be ruled by MAN, not now, not ever. And there are millions, apparently, who feel as I do about the matter. If you are not one of them, perhaps I could suggest a more suitable thread for you: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2364546/posts
