Yes! But apparently they never read Romans 13

Let every soul be submissive to superior authorities; for there is no authority except by God, and those that there are are given their positions by God, so that he who sets himself against authority is opposing God’s institution; and those who oppose it will have judgment passed on them.

And

For this is why you pay taxes too; for they are servitors of God’s steadily at work for that very purpose. Pay everybody what is due him: for whom it is the tax, the tax; for whom the tariff, the tariff; for whom fear, fear; for whom honor, honor

But that would require, i don't know, reading, and not being a hypocrite. There's quite a bit in the latter portions of the Bible that basically boil down to "don't make waves, be chill, work within the current status quo, even if you're dying because of it". But the God and Guns crowd doesn't like that bit
