I'm from the government. I'm here to confiscate that gun for your protection.
Isn't it better if I'm able to protect myself with this? Then I don't need you occupying my territory at all.
But what about when we decide to criminalize you later? If you're not unarmed and defenseless, we'll have to kill you.
Hmm, maybe I am too primitive and incompetent to be trusted to act on my own.
I'm afraid I'll have to requisition the carrot, too. We only want unhealthy peasants who die on schedule.
You'd never treat me like this if I had a gun.
