"the revolution was not without violent clashes between security forces and protesters, with at least 846 people killed and 6,000 injured." And if the civil disobedience fails to produce meaningful change, then what?

To use Egypt as an example. If the "less violent?" revolution works, that's a 1 in the w column for humanity, without doubt. That being said, I personally would be unwilling to assume that violent tyranny had ended in the world based upon this particular case. As long as there are people willing to leverage a firearm against you, you should have the right to defend yourself with a firearm. It would be difficult to do this, if you weren't allowed access to firearms.
