As for 1, I&#x27;d suggest reading this book: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;That-Every-Man-Armed-Constitutional&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0945999380" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;That-Every-Man-Armed-Constitutional&#x2F;dp...</a><p>As for 2: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Battle_of_Athens_(1946)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Battle_of_Athens_(1946)</a><p>As for 3, no one is suggesting it become a routine method.  Heck, the early 20th Century Imperial Japanese political culture of assassination and what it led to is a stark object lesson (particularly stark as I finish reading this right now: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Hell-Pay-Operation-Downfall-1945-1947&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1591143160&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Hell-Pay-Operation-Downfall-1945-1947&#x2F;...</a>)<p>As for 4, your history lessons must have skipped this event: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;American_Revolutionary_War" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;American_Revolutionary_War</a><p>Overall, it&#x27;s rather interesting you can&#x27;t conceive of the deterrent effects of a well armed populace.  Surely our 21st Century experiences in the sandbox suggest something....
