Every country has a military force, and it by definition bears arms.
The question, in all countries, is whether anyone else has the legal right to bear arms. In many countries this is today a burning question and it is almost always politically controversial. The question comes in two main versions. In one kind of situation, there is asserted to be a high crime rate, in which police protection is deemed by some persons to be insufficient, and these persons wish to protect themselves by arming themselves. In another kind of situation, there is a group who feels that their rights are being violated by the government in power and by those who are its supporters and feel that they must arm themselves to counter the government.
