(Very simply - if government fails to enforce existing law - violence will follow! - CL)
We already used reason to exhaustion -- that is the process that passes laws! Laws occur through debate, amendment, passage and signature (or override of a veto) to reach the Statute Books. That's the process of reason and it reaches exhaustion when said laws are either passed or repealed. The executive branch in each instrumentality, whether local, state or federal, executes an oath to faithfully discharge said laws and it is in exchange for this process that the citizens delegate to government the capacity to use violence in said enforcement. If the government, whether at a local, state or federal level, having had the process of reason applied and run to conclusion, decides to deliberately refuse to enforce said law then the next event will always in fact be violence; we are now down to whether they or you are the the target and suffer the consequences thereof, not whether violence is going to occur.
Think not? How do you think the dead kids and adults in Georgia feel about it? How about Laken Riley or Mollie Tibbetts? How about the people victimized by the Venezuelan gangs that the cops and government of Colorado have tried to claim don't exist despite it now being a documented fact they were aware of it and deliberately did nothing?
