The Statist leader refuses to be subject to any legal restraints nor do they pay heed to any superior authority. Their victims, those persons who're to be subjected to their whims must be silenced and disarmed. This is nothing new the military arm, be it a sword, a pike or a firearm, is the symbol and instrument of political authority. The citizens of a free nation armed and ready to defend their lives and liberties have a commanding voice which a politician may ignore only at their peril. Augustus Caesar understood this when he depoliticized the citizen body of the Roman Republic by replacing the citizen militia based army of the republic with a mercenary force loyal to himself.
