Equin0x: The world does not live on philosophies but on realities. As WT has very rightly said, "the weapon industry is a multi-billion dollar industry" and surely closing down of this industry will have major adverse repercussions on the economy of arms-selling countries. The concept of "de-weaponization" is a myth. In my country, almost all major political parties have an "underground" armed wing and several years back there were demands that political parties be "de-weaponized." It never took place. And that is in just one country!
