So if you think about the United Kingdom like you could think about it in those terms. In the theory it is that most states, that is nation states, pursued a historical course that led to the state having a monopoly on violence before the state became fully democratized, that is to say the government essentially seizes the weapons and declares that people can't be kind of holding their own weapons for the sake of wielding kind of satellite forms of armed power against the state and then societies become democratized. JILL LEPORE: One of the more interesting theories about the nature of gun violence in the United States and the quite high homicide rate in the United States, both of which distinguish the United States from other similar nations, has to do with at what moment in time the United States became independent and why the Second Amendment ends up in the Bill of Rights, which is written by Madison.
