This is laughable. In the First World it isn't going to happen, and in the Third World having a gun doesn't help because the despots have more, bigger guns or they're supported by First World countries.
You're also advocating intervention into other countries' domestic affairs by arming their citizens and formenting civil war? That gives the USA a bad name that it doesn't deserve.
I can't be bothered to reply about the crooks bit - look up your own stats.
