A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
All forms of government are pernicious, including good government.
The ideal society can be described, quite simply, as that in which no man has the power or means to coerce others. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. 21 Liberty cannot be guaranteed by law. Nor by any means except the resolution of free citizens to defend their liberties. Tanks and bombers represent dictatorship.
