Barr is right of course.
Respect for the law and law enforcement are necessary for a peaceful functioning society.
That’s what is so dangerous about the plans of Democrats in Virginia to use the police as their Gestapo to enforce unconstitutional gun laws.
Whatever goodwill still exists in the community will evaporate if they start confiscating guns.
Bullfeathers. The only thing necessary for a peaceful functioning society is to have uniform cultural mores, a vast majority that lives by those mores, and the swift ostracism, isolation, exile, or execution for violators by the functional majority.
What we have now is a protection racket for about 140,000 - 200,000 households.Once the cops decided to enforce crimes against "society", while turning a blind eye to the criminals that employed them... well, any claim of respect or fairness in our justice system got tossed into the garbage in favor of the sinful lust for dominance, control, and power.
Rank & file LE are still (mostly) decent folks like you & I. Their political appointee leaders in the largest 50 cities in this country want us disarmed and then enslaved or dead.
