Good question. I'd say this: If you had more weapons than your neighbors, but you're all by yourself, then your neighbors could easily gang up on you and if they did, all those weapons wouldn't do much good.
I don't think disarmament is the answer, though, because there is no guarantee that everyone will be honest about it.
