Maybe to a certain extent, but that's kinda at the extreme end, neh? There are places where the police don't carry guns. Hell, telling my daughter "No" firmly is usually enough to get her to halt what she's doing and burst into tears. For now, at least. For most people, law itself is enough. Fines, etc.. "Public" humiliation, like stockades. It doesn't exactly take guns to slap yo ass in jail, neither. But I get it, force is ultimately what backs things that need to be, um, forced. Force doesn't have to equal guns tho, or even violence, per se. Having a branch Davidian-type situation at MickeyD's over happy meals sounds pretty Nov 5. to me. Woohoo! It's on. :Den -- We are only falsehood, duplicity, contradiction; we both conceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves.
