Afghanistan Declared Gun-Free Zone

The Duffel Blog
In multiple cities Afghans celebrated their new gun-free state by using old rifles to club several people to death.
“After over thirty years of senseless violence, I think it’s time we say no to big guns and the firearms industry that promotes them,” a tearful and visibly-tired Karzai told a crowd of Afghan legislators at the presidential palace in Kabul.
"Under the new government-approved policy, no one will be allowed to carry any type of firearm or ranged weapon in Afghanistan.  Swords and knives are still permissible, as long as the owner possesses a Class-III license available at most government offices."
....
"Surprisingly, Karzai’s decision has also been praised by his opponents in the Taliban."
