What you have to realise is that India has a population which is overwhelmingly more than the countries you mentioned, and more people means more ways in which such a legislation can come back and bite us in the ass. You talking about violent crimes made me chuckle cause the news of village people killing someone over stolen cattle, or adulterers is common in India,and they dont even need weapons. Indian people are remarkably capable of resorting to a mob tendency and cause violence the kind which a civilized mind cant comprehend. Hence my apprehensive outlook. To be frank, arming any person may give him a responsibility he may or may not be ready to bear.
