If you really believe a polite society is a well armed society, you ain’t paying attention.

To be fair, most of those who quote the whole “An armed society is a polite society” BS ignore the context of the comment, which was a criticism of such beliefs because the only way it works is for everybody to be so afraid of retaliation that they do nothing to provoke others, until such time as society is completely static for fear that offense could lead to death.
