If you take the right to bear arms from people they'll just find ways to rip you a new one without them.

That's kind of the reason Karate exists.

Hell, that's the reason gun control is so entrenched in Japan.

First off guns were considered western, which the ruling class didn't much care for, and it looks bad to the peasentry if any untrained farmer can knock your noble warrior class Samurai off his horse with one shot from behind a bush.

EXACTLY. Gun control is people control. End of story.

Which is also why in the Middle Ages there was a Papal decree banning the use of the crossbow in warfare.
