Once again, words have meanings... please pay careful attention here. Christs actions in the temple were NOT an intiation of force. His actions were an employment of defensive force, in response to force initiated by those choosing to be in the temple (on his property), against his (the property owner's) will.

Exactly. The American people own the property of the government and the American people have decided that they don't want hard drug dealers on their (the government's) property. The initiation of force is justified.

Please pay careful attention to the words. They have a very precise and important meaning.

Yes they do. "A government of the people". The people are the government, the people own government property, initiation of force is justified to whack hard drug dealers and those that facilitate them.

Do the American people own the homes of those whose doors they kick down for possession of those drugs?

I didn't think so.

(frankly I think you're being a bit silly)

Wrong.
A constitutional amendment prohibiting property such as 'hard drugs' could not be passed. -- Altho states may control criminal use of such substances, using due process.

But you should know these simple facts. -- Whats with all the libertarian baiting?
