This has always pissed me off. Yes, UG, yes you damn well can. Look at Rwanda, look at Sudan, look at so many hundreds of years of ethnic conflict and cleansing in central asia, africa, even eastern europe. Just cause the victims tried and failed to defend themselves doesn't mean they were all disarmed first. In fact, history more or less shows that genocide is almost NEVER the orderly, policed affair the Germans made of it - genocide is open, bloody, unregulated, and while the FORCE of arms is always imbalanced, the losing side isn't always - or even usually - a DISarmed one.
