The citizens in this country have never been armed, and in fact even
hand-guns for sport use were recently outlawed.

"... NEVER BEEN ARMED ..."! Is that REALLY TRUE ?
If I recall history lessons regarding ANGLO-SAXON conflicts over the
past 1000 years, I seem to recall that many armies were 'raised' in the
Isles and the people provided their own weapons.
Only after the establishment of a solid Monarchy were the citizens
disarmed. [Power consolidating control of Power].
Is my understanding of history wrong ?
