<snip>we own their A**es. the govt belongs to the people.<snip>
You see, here is where you are confused. We like to think we own their a**es. But in reality, both the police and the military take their orders from our elected officials. And our taxes have paid for the heavy hardware that they have at their disposal. The legislature passes unconstitutional laws (lisencing of God-given, or natural, rights), the judicial branch backs them up (fails to strike down unconstitutional laws), and the police enforce those laws. In reality, they own us. This is how governments work.
Look at the writings of our Founding Fathers. They refer to government as force, and make no mistake, force is what it is. George Washington compared government to fire: A useful servant , but a dangerous master.
