And the masses is always stronger than the army, just look at the french or russian revolution.
You think? The only way that unarmed masses could have dislodged me (back when I was a joe) from a static position was to throw more people at me than I had rounds....and I carried 1,600 rounds- on my person..excluding support or resupply- IOW, if you surprised me....I'd still have 1600 rounds to fire at you, from a weapon effective out to 1100m.
I'd say allowing John Q a shotgun on priciple isn't going to tilt the scale that much in this equation.....but, telling him he can never have a shotgun, well that's obvious dick-hattery.
