"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes....Such laws make things worse for the assualted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicide; for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
Cesare Beccaria, On Crimes and Punishments (1764).
