Sure they have, surely you have forgotten
the English Civil War?  Weapons were not
always government issue, soldiers
sometimes armed themselves.  Agincourt's
longbowmen owned their own longbows too!

Er .. I must have missed something, maybe you're being too ironic,
the 'citizens' have never been armed .....

My condolences, particularly since your crime rate has,
er, "shot up" since disarming the citizens...
as has also happened in Australia.
