The Troubles are a very good example of what happens when you arm a society. It has taken us years to recover from that.

Except that few IRA attacks in those times were gun attacks. The IRA mostly used guns to defend themselves from British Army sweeps attempting to clean them out.
Actual terrorism type attacks performed by the IRA were usually carried out with explosives, both stolen and homemade.
The Troubles didn't end because of any kind of disarmament or gun regulations. They ended because most of the IRA was of the WWII generation, and they just got too old to fight. So old age is what really brought the peace.

Is it such a horrible thing to acknowledge that terrorism and hate groups aren't the cream of society?
