The government is a group of people who have been assigned authority and have been granted power. Often, the power and the authority is abused for the purpose gaining more power or to inflict harm or injustice on the public. It happens almost everywhere all the time. The government has always been Strange Dictator Aliens From Outer Space.

And I also hold that any subgroup of people deter abuse from the larger population when the subgroup is armed.

Cos yeah, y'know, it's not like a militia has ever abused its power after it revolutionises a country. Ever. ¬_¬...
I still can't believe you're comparing South Africa to the US. Haven't you ever heard the words "Colonialist Legacy"?

Yes.
