#1 It's like the gun grabbers. They fail to understand that to reduce the number of guns in society, the way is to provide an environment where the citizenry believes that it will receive real security and justice, not propaganda. Short of that, the citizenry will look to its own. No different for the world. If nations can expect real security and justice, then arms become less of an issue. Real history, not to be confused with 'social justice' Marxist theory, shows that such a sustainable condition is very unlikely for generations, if at all. The Euros came close but only through military welfare from the Americans, which as with all things, is quickly run out, along with the dollars that sustained it.
