Well, there is that. That's why I wash my hands after handling it.

Only some governments.

Sure, just like Zimbabwe, right? Or (Godwin forbid) the victims of the 
Holocaust who were clearly defended by the uprising of the majority of 
the people involved at the time. (I.e., history suggests you're wrong.)

You only get the revolution if enough people with power are actually 
getting screwed over. If you keep it down to maybe 5% of the population, 
or keep it up to 95% of the population, you don't really get a very good 
revolution.

But if you want to, say, shut up anyone who suggests that the government 
could be improved by getting rid of the people currently in charge, 
being able to take all their money away as well as track everyone who 
ever gives them any money at all, well that's certainly a bonus.

  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
