Your points are neither nice nor neat. I really have little idea what you are talking about. This is because you haven't explained yourself, and you haven't put forth any real argument, mainly just weak (i.e. thinly veiled) rhetorical questions.
What are you saying? Do you want a gun in every hand? Do you want to disassemble the police organizations? Overhaul the court systems? Maybe get rid the federal system? Do you want to live in a commune? Do you support anarchist communism?
