Here in the U.K., we don't have the 2nd Amendment so there isn't the same culture as in the U.S. Anything is possible in terms of what kind of world we will see in the near future as some of the trends we have don't bode well for stability. I recommend the book The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver. It gives you a glimpse of what we might be in store for.
