They are missing the fact that majority of people never encounter/use guns in their life, and that the principal way of behavioural control is propaganda/ideology. Most of the people in the industrial world are directly and tightly controlled by corporations, not governments.

Bullshit on all points. If you don't believe businesses don't use guns then you should check around. Hell, my local grocery has an armed guard at the front entrance when it's open (and other times I suspect). Tell this to your local mid-level drug dealer. Most people encounter a gun at least daily within say 50 ft. of their person, thought they may not be aware of it or individualy handle it. Most people, industrial country or not, are controlled by the beliefs they hold and what they believe is acceptable. Corporations and governments are as much a victim of this as the individual is. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able.
