That. And not only in the GDR, but in the whole of the eastern european countries as well, with the exception of Romania.

Want to know what happens to a society that is armed? Look no further then Lybia or the rest of the arab spring revolutions, Syria being the latest contender. Mob Rule, death tolls rising, wholesale destruction and after so much blood was shed, the results are the same conditions under a different name.

More freely avaiable weapons in irresponsible hands = rising death toll. That is such an easy equation you need a whole Enceclopedia of arguments to fog this down in a debate.
