Facebook is just as much protected by people with guns as any government.

I don't think I'd hold the position I do if protecting was all that the guns were used for.

Sure, my point is not to defend governments use of guns, but to point out that facebook’s power derived from its relationship with governments and hence that same power. It isn’t an alternative, but rather a part of the structure.
