I don't think it's outrageous to say that a few people with weapons can command many people without weapons.

I don't, personally, recall the last US election that was settle by a shoot-out.

It seems most modern democracies get by fine without civil wars.

Or: what, exactly, are you suggesting.

I'm suggesting that a fascist dictatorship is harder to establish in a place where everybody is armed.
