Disarmed.

I was just reading a CNN biography of Neda Agha-Soltan, and thought this passage was worth noting:

A friend of hers interprets the fact that her body was released so quickly as a tacit acknowledgment by the government that the killing was carried out by government forces. That theory is supported by the fact that Iran’s strict gun-control laws mean private citizens cannot carry firearms, the friend said.

Governments do not fear disarmed people.

Politics, Guns & Beer.
