>Implying that citizens *shouldn’t* be armed
The Ukraine is a poster child for citizens responsibly utilising firearms against foreign aggressors right now. An armed society is a polite society - the fact that most European countries deprived their citizens of the right to bear arms is a modern tragedy. Hopefully events like this will show the utility of allowing citizens to own and operate firearms for the purposes of self-defense.
An armed society is whatever it is depending on the circumstances. Somalia isn't a polite society although armed, Switzerland is. The Netherlands have got a low armed society and is, and also has Myanmar and has an ongoing genocide. Give them guns and the majority will murder the minority faster.
Switzerland and the Netherlands have heavy gun control. The first allows and incites people to keep their service guns, but provides a great level of gun education and psychological evaluation, not to mention keeping a registry, while the Netherlands opt for a disarmed society.
