Unfortunately we've seen protests like this before in Iran (perhaps not this widespread, however).

Shouting in the streets won't end the regime. The regime will either just wait it out, or clamp down with violence. The people will need to take more direct action if they hope for any change to come out of this - which unfortunately likely means more death.

Without weapons, the people of Iran will have a difficult time overthrowing the regime. This may highlight to some folks abroad the importance of the US's 2nd Amendment, and an armed civilian population - things we take for granted in the US, and some wish to abolish.

It's a nasty, depressing situation. The regime needs to end. The people of Iran, and the people of the world will be far better off without this regime.

I hope the best for the people of Iran.
