Yah, we know Beetle. Instead your criminals are forced to be more creative and rob people with bats and butter knives. Its ok though. We understand how all those centuries of subjugation have led you to cringe at the sight of weapons. After all, by the reasoning that most of your European countries have only begin to repudiate in the last couple of centuries (with our example), only the people most fit to have them deserved to carry weapons, isnt that right? The majority of the population was considered unintelligent and craven, and had no use for weapons anyway, eh? Guess their indoctrination found good soil.
