Are you really claiming that humans weren't as aggressive before we had kings? Did having titled rulers suddenly change our animal biology? Even monkeys have hierarchy and can be brutally aggressive for power and control. Ffs I've seen crows fight it out to be the alpha.
How aggressive and how efficient though? Guns are the product of a large scale society that needs to arm itself to protect itself just like a dog has teeth.
