Ever wondered why governments prefer unarmed law abiding citizens? I often do. Whats to be afraid of from law abiding citizens whether they be armed or not? Is it because some nutter may get a firearm and kill people? Law abiding citizens dont do things like this? Nutters kill people ever day using cars, baseball bats, knives, you name it its been used. So the question remains, why do governments support condone the idea that an unarmed law abiding citizen is a safe citizen? Heres one leader who came straight to the point. There are many such examples throughout history.

"er größte Unsinn, den man in den besetzen Ostgebieten machen könnte, sei der, den unterworfenen Völkern Waffen zu geben. Die Geschicte lehre, daß alle Herrenvölker untergegangen seien, nachdem sie den von ihnen unterworfenen Volkern Waffen bewilligt hatten.

In English, [The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the people to have arms. History teaches that all governments who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.]
