1. That is in line with the gun fetishists saying: An armed society is a polite society."

Personally, I think an armed society, means drunks, and other assorted addicts, as well as entitled a holes everywhere started looking for fights.

Frankly, I think the gun fetishists live in some delusional world of a 50s Western. They think that you can tell the bad guys from the good guys. They think you can shoot the guns from the bad guys hands or kill them for that matter without any collateral damage. They think they will rise to the occasion and take on the bad guys, being a manly hero, when most of them don't have a clue how they would react. Somehow, I think they have this vision of a utopia of the wild west, but then I don't think these people are all there in the first place.

If you could run this social experiment and only the gun fetishists would suffer, then lets have a go at it. Just not going to happen though. Innocent people, more of them are going to suffer.
