In fact it was done once before in the case of a tax increase - see 1776!
I wonder at what level of tax increase would we be justified to shoot the government.

Did you seriously just compare a tyrannical government taking away freedoms and your income with a police officer enforcing a traffic law? I hope I read that wrong that you are saying you would be justified to pull a firearm on a police officer for attempting to cite you for exceeding the speed limit......
