I don't think it's silly, and based on the LW survey results, neither do approximately 30.3% of LW users.
But aside from that, OP said "More generally: Posts or comments advocating or 'asking about' violation of laws that are actually enforced against middle-class people". Gun control (though not taxation) clearly falls under this illegality clause, without resort to classifying it as "violence".
'Libertarian' does not mean 'believes all government action is violence'.
I identify as libertarian and have been objectivist, but calling taxation theft (and other similar claims) is almost always sneaking in connotations.
True, but that doesn't change the fact that the wording of the proposed policy is heavily subject to interpretation, which is the point I was trying to make.
