Our populace is unarmed. But we are very close to clobbering soldiers. Note that the oil shortage is a manufactured crisis. I've enough instances of nearby stations simply claiming they have no fuel left, only for people to look into the tanks and see that there's enough. They usually give this to their friends and people who pay top dollar.
Armed soldiers at petrol stations doesn't seem like fear mongering to me.
