"The number of deaths wouldnÂ´t be lower in any way . After all , countries like Rwanda and Sierra Leone donÂ´t have a working governmental strucure so couldnÂ´t enforce such a ban ."
"Entirely wrong on this point . I was in sierra leone during hte rebellion , nad they did have a working government structure from begining to end . Civilians in rebel controlled portions of sierra leone were hacked apart with machetes ( literally ) and horribly treated because they had no way to fight back . In several circumstances , entire villages were bypassed by the rebels becasue one or 2 people had ignored the ban on guns . Rebels showed up , took fire from the town , and went and found an easier town to pick on . There was a move by certain british folks who worked for certain british companies to arm the civilian population . Unfortunatly , the UN impoased an arms embargo against sierra leone and short circuited the plan ."
