No. I am saying it is a non-issue in a country such as Iraq at this stage of their re-birth.

Or, on the other hand, that a democracy can exist without such a guaranteed right when everyone already owns guns?

Or such a guaranteed right is just not that important.

Which is it?

BTW, societal norms at the time of the drafting of the US Constitution...there were pockets of civil unrest (Shay's rebellion) and most everyone owned guns.

And none of this is significant in the greater discussion of the issue of the Second Ammendment in this country. Apples and Oranges.
