The point of owning and bearing arms is to defend ones self from an oppressive government. If no Indian citizens own firearms then the government can do what they wish with them. To my knowledge they are already one of the most strati-sized societies on earth and this is nothing new for their culture, remember the untouchables within the Indian caste system which is still around. The poorest of the poor are held down and kept there, it is the same all over the world unfortunately just not quite as blatantly.
