That's why nothing more than "fonctions régaliennes" (justice, army, diplomacy) should be given to any elected body representing more than 50 people.

You don't want officials to abuse their power or for lobbys to profit from it ? Don't give them this power. And don't ever do like socialist countries : every citizen, even after jail-time has a right to defend its life and property through use of weapons. Every citizen, whatever shit they're saying has a right to say it.
