Of course you are for limiting the government as you consider them your first enemy. Fine you can live that way. Criminals are my first enemy.

Really? A curious point of view. If a criminal tries to oppress or enslave me, I can merely shoot that criminal and go on with my life. If a government tries to oppress me, what response do you recommend?

Our forefathers would have said the solution for the criminal would be the solution for a tyrannical govt.

If the government opresses you then you use that vote and lobby to change those laws.

You attempt in this example to equate an entity of multiple people to one person. Surely you can do better than that.

Here in this state if a criminal 'opresses' you you are bound to try to flee before you use deadly force. Not that I agree with it, I vote in ways that oppose such a policy but that is the law here today thanks to lefty democrats.

I would suggest to you that this state is in for change as every election cycle shows the state growing more and more red outside Chicago, a bit of rockford area and maybe some of champaign.
