Are laws only suggestions, or will they be enforced by violence if people fail to comply?

I guess if you define 'violence' as being arrested and put in jail, then I'd say the latter is correct.

Are you saying only conservatives make and enforce laws? Is making and enforcing laws a bad thing? Are you in favor of doing away with all laws?

Yes, being arrested at gunpoint is violence. Ever had a gun pointed at you? Then you would know what violence is.

And all laws, even those which do not defend the rights of the citizens are enFORCED by violence or the threat thereof. So we agree, right?

Those are some of the most bizarre questions or leaps to goofy conclusions I have ever seen. Hard to say what would make a person make such statements.
