It is the typical social-democratic dictatorship: weapons should not be so crimes could not be committed.
Actually criminals are criminals because of their willingness to break the law, so they will also break it to procure themselves illegal wepons, while honest will be disarmed.
Actually, if honest were armed there would be far less crimes, since there eaction of honest citizens would constitute a good antibody to criminal behavior: also, criminals willing to commit a crime nonetehless would be often more prudent, they would aslo surrender more easily.
The possibility of a violent reation to an armed crime would result in change of modus operand of most professional crimianals who would more happily resort to non violent tactics, such as frauds, than to armed robberies.
Forbidding weapons in the religious hope of forbidding crimes is actually a primitive taboo, that is suited to candid souls and has only a justification: to keep anything under soft government control, mantaining citizens in a state of permanent infancy.
