Henry Ford had a way of solving riots - 3 water jacketed .30 cal machine guns. After the first line goes down, the rest seem to think better of it and go home.
Ford had a better idea! ( Just like in the old ads!) Nearly magical, how that works. Heinlein had it right in his novel , "Beyond This Horizon" with his protagonist declaring "Well, in the first place, an armed society is a polite society . Manners are good when one may have to back up his actions with his life. For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization."
