Venezuela went from the richest country in South America to one where the average citizen lost 17lbs in a year. Once your economy looks like that, the slightest hint of armed unrest could collapse the government. The only reason Maduro stayed in power was because he could have the military shoot into unarmed crowds with no repercussions.
Yes, an armed society is a polite society, and no one is more polite than, say, American police or the ATF or FBI or IRS.
If you see an American walk into a school or a hotel with a gun, you know everything is going to be A-OK.
