No, you seem to interpret my statements as having a threat of force (I presume physical force). The threat for noncompliance is a fine. What you are saying is akin to claiming that a home owner's association's fine for hanging laundry outside is a threat of "force". There is nothing about government guns coming out anywhere in my statement.
Now, I see you playing out this romantic notion of the harried citizen opening his upstairs window and warning LEOS that he intends to protect his home and property. My scenario is nothing like that. How does a "peaceful person" protect himself from a lien? with a firearm? No one shows up at the door demanding surrender of materials, they simply siphon money from your bank account. Now unless that person goes to the bank with a weapon there is nothing he can do to "protect" himself.
This again, is the gun owners most cherished dream, their breaking out their weapons stash in order to protect themselves from the bad old government's "agents", thus being instant American Heros.
Those folk haven't stopped to think that we are no longer living in 1892. Almost all money passes through official channels. A bank can be instructed to place holds upon your accounts. Now you can no longer pay private parties for services, food, housing and gas. No one is "agressing against you", you are sitting in your home, no one is approaching at all. Now you will have to make a choice, surrender your weapons or lose everything else, and no one comes to your door at all.
I know the right wants it to look differently but the fact is that "agents" going door to door to collect weapons - in the millions, is inefficient when the owners can be induced to surrender their firearms all by themselves.
