Limited government starts with this axiom: Bureaucrats shouldn’t kill citizens. The point of the state having a monopoly on the use of violence is not that the state should do violence, it’s that violence is thereby prevented.
Sorry to keep repeating this, but the League is the only org fighting only for the people on bikes, and in these times, we gotta fight. Please become a member if you’re able (and vote for me as a board member starting Monday)
