I'm watching Dawn of the Dead on the Sci Fi channel (since when is horror science fiction?), and I've just realized that there is a reason to keep everyone armed: zombies. If, in the unlikely situation, zombies were to begin spreading their plague, the only way to keep them at bay, and thus to keep the world from being overrun, would be to have a heavely armed populace. The reason that the zombies are able to get such a foothold is that most people are not prepaed to deal with horrible, infected, flesh eating people that are very aggressive and very dangerous.
