If citizens were denied the right to increase their physical size through anabolic steroids, would it be more difficult or less difficult for the government to impose by force laws that the people find onerous?

Use of steroids is not the issue. However, I don't believe the gov should be involved in drug use.

It turned out badly for the Davidians, not because they were a threat to society. They died because of the government's actions. Is it your contention that the government should never, under any circumstances, be violently resisted?

No, it's my contention that violently resisting the government is a stupid argument to use in support of gun ownership.

We have the most powerful military the world has ever seen. The self delusion of the yahoo with the deer rifle standing up to the military is ludacris.

To coin a phrase, don't bring a gun to a tank fight.

If it wasn’t for the EC hiding the popular will, voting trends would quickly reshape the country. Every time reductionism is employed as a tool of democracy, you get the same thing: a dysfunctional system hiding behind tradition. Not unlike many of your views.

You maybe right, I don't know. But I will say that with your reasoning concerning the power of tyranny, you probably would have been a good friend of Ben Franklin's son. He too saw the futility of his daddy's fight against tyranny.
