yep, give out revolvers, in fact give out bombs as well, what a great idea, everyone armed, it would be such an effective tool in population control. It would certainly be an effective way of getting rid of the poor, unemployed and the mentally ill, if you gave them little pamphlets, with the free guns, extoling the virtues of firearms as a way of solving all your problems they could probably be encouraged to kill all their families as well. Job Done!!
Of course there would be some collateral damage as well, but I'm sure the gov't could find some way to justify that.
Gosh who would want to live in a world without guns, bombs and nuclear weapons.
