It's scary enough as it is, but when you think there are plenty of folks here who would like to see just such a system in place in the US it becomes downright terrifying.

As KdT referred to it: The Land that used to be Great Brittain....... now the Great has gone, and the Brittish are fleeing, too.........
The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.
