Re: Pashtoon and arms culture
i'm saying, in a society that is under constant threat of armed assassins - taliban, mongols, turks, other pashtun tribes, etc etc relentlessly from the last 1000+ years, the whole idea of fighting for survival is a way of daily life and part of society. but this isn't how the majority of settled areas of humanity lives.
old laws work well for old societies. times have changed though.

People were de-armed and defanged by the Arms act of 1959. That is a good thing. There is enough lawlessness already without adding arms into the mix. While people do worship weapons on certain festivals, I will have to add that growing up, I have never see a rifle or Revolver in the hands of anyone not the armed forces or police.
