"Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where the gun begins."
~Atlas Shrugged---Ayn Rand~
Ultimately, when a law is created, a punishment must be affixed in case of transgression. Punishment is enforced. Enforcement entails "forcing" somone to obey or conform to the law. This is done, at its base, through threats, or actual application of physical violence or of segregation, confinement, etc. It is always at the barrel of a gun, taser or other instrument that can inflict death or injury. Think about that.
"Where you find the laws most numerous, there you will find also the greatest injustice."
~Arcesilaus~
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
~Thomas Jefferson~
