Say what?

If we gave up arms, or if we never had them to begin with, the weak or righteous might very well find themselves at the mercy, or lack thereof, of the strong. Strong probability of that happening actually, if history is any indicator.

A moral dilemma that has been faced since man first picked up a stick or rock and coveted another's possessions, I fear.

Your call and decision, smartperson.
