It is probably a fantasy in our lifetime, but fast forward 50, 75, 100, or 200 years. There is no way to tell what the future holds. None of us can predict what it will be like, be it good or bad. However, every collapse of a nation or rise of a tyrant started in a place full of people who thought it would never happen, most of them unarmed.
I'm sitting next to two countries right now who both have had this exact thing happen. One used to be one of the jewel of Asia. People would travel from all over the region to go shopping there, it was booming and was going to be the hub of SE Asia. Then the wrong people got into power and the rest is bloody Burmese history. The other county saw the rise of Pol Pot and his group murdered 1/3 of the unarmed population, and that was just 35 or so years ago. Hitler's reign ended
only 67 years ago, and I don't believe we've evolved a whole lot in 67 years. The world is full of history lessons exactly like this, all of them happened fairly recently. Shit happens. Keep your guns, you never know who's going to need them. World history has taught us time and time again, those who are unarmed usually end up being victims.
