Summary

This quote suggests that in a society where individuals are armed, people tend to be more polite and well-mannered. The reasoning behind this is that when individuals are aware that their actions can potentially lead to a life-threatening situation, they are more cautious and considerate in their behavior. The presence of weapons creates a sense of responsibility and self-preservation, leading to increased civility and respectful interaction among individuals.
