Another indicator is the rate of citizen un prisons. The laws on gun ownership doesn't prevent the US government to have high rate of citizens incarcerated [1].

Another indicator is the rate of citizen un prisons. The laws on gun ownership doesn't prevent the US government to have high rate of citizens incarcerated [1]. On the other hand, US is a state of law, and in theory, US incarceration does not come from oppression but from justice and written laws [2]. Now even though gun ownership might be one way to garanty that US remains a state of law, it is not obvious that it is the only way. If US was not a state of law, I would not be comfortable that GAFAM companies gets their own armies, as in the funny dystopian novel Jenifer Government [3].
