 Imagine governments without the ability to use violence….it would be like 1776-1930 America, we would have the police powers, the violence, and as such no one, not even the government could use their violence to oppress us.  

You do realize the only reason the government has any control over us is because of violence, right?  

Take away their ability to conduct violence and give it back to the people, and just like that we are the only free country in the world, again.
