How is this known?
Is there some study that proves this assertion that Iraq has the majority of citizens with weaponry? Frankly, I think this is a load of bull, and falls flat unless it can be proven.

You are certainly justified in questioning the accuracy of the evidence. I wonder, if we were to accept the article's findings as true (for the sake of argument) if that would falsify the proposition that an armed citizenry is a necessary or sufficient condition for the perpetuation of democracy. I think it would. But no one has sought to engage that point--they'd rather attack the messenger and turn this into an Miller, Emerson, federalist cut-and-paste from the Guncit.com website fest!
