The practical difference between a republic and an oligarchy is the presence of effective weapons in the hands of the citizens. In a republic, the state excercises a limited monopoly on the use of force; in an oligarchy the state exercises an absolute monopoly on the use of force.
It is amazing that the gun grabbers claim these weapons are not appropriate for self defense, but the British Royals have scores of guards there in plain view with AR-15s and fully-automatic weapons.
