It's one man's opinion, but Tocqueville sure was an observant SOB. I'd like to believe he'd hold a different stance regarding an armed population -- if this was his musing on America, then he felt certain of this outcome.
I'm sure he would have been fine with it. At the time he travelled the US he remarked that he had never known a populace to be so knowledgeable about its government and constitution.
