Freeing slaves is different than murder. We live in a society of laws, and we must respect those laws whether or not we agree with them. Turning to the gun is a sure way to anarchy.

You're damn right:

Now shut up, put on your Yellow Star, and get on the train.

Thankfully, our Founding Fathers felt differently.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ...
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

So is holding slaves different from murder.

And do you think the abolitionists went to the plantations unarmed? Look up "Bleeding Kansas".

We live in a society of pampered limp-wristed wimps.

Anarchy is a temporary condition that is certain to change the law.
It is also the price a country pays sooner or later for evil just as the Civil War was the price for slavery.
