Would The World Be A Better Place If Everyone Was A Psychopath?

If everyone was a psychopath, its not like anyone would be able to take advantage of another based on their emotions or presence of empathy. It could be like the entire world walking around with a loaded, cocked-and-locked pistol. So, this would either:
1. Make us all more polite and respectful to one another so we don't get our heads blown off, or
2. Everyone will immediately shoot everyone else just because they can.
Or, is there a different scenario?
A polite and respectful psychopath...?
Maybe Ted Bundy could pull that off. But, he was a rare psychopath.
More likely it would be like The Purge.
Bear in mind a psychopath and his voices aren't having fun and the rest are ones that are panicking because all the crazies are running amok... makes for a slightly tense population.
Please seat yourself.
