But if you can impose your preferences though violence why can't I? Why can't anyone? The fact is that under the current system they can. Whoever wrests control of the gun dictates the terms.

The 0.01% risk that the Grand Canyon will turn into a landfill or that Bill Gates will kill all the hobos isn't worth the 100% chance that people are unnecessarily locked up under horrific conditions every day for non violent victimless "crimes".
