That is not the case in the USA, where the absence of such a monopoly is written into the federal constitution.
- baursak 9y agoAre you talking about 2nd amendment? If so, that's not a grant to violence by any means. If you want to test if the state really has a monopoly on violence, try being violent, or simply disobedient with an officer of the state.
