We just didn't take away their guns ... first we sold them the guns. They used to hunt with bows, arrows and spears. Not guns.

Then we sold them the stronger alcohol. Then we had them sell us their land ... they were amused. Yea the white man is going to "own the land" What next, why dont we sell them he air they thought. Then we put fences up and shot them for wandering onto our land. Then we put up railroads, and rounded up the wild buffalo and dammed the rivers and caught the fish into extinction. They starved to death.

Its not as simple as "taking away their guns" and they have the suicide and poverty rates. We took away everything ... including the guns that we initially sold them, and they got suicidal.

It happened in India too. We however used the second world war to make life difficult for them and they decided they had had enough. America ended the second world war. However Germany gave India its freedom. That is in a way 1 reason why Hitler isn't so reviled in India.

It is a characterstic 19th century western european/British thing.

The west Indies, australia, new zealand, most of the middle east have had foot prints of the british that still bear a big causation for their present day problems. It has however unified India and got India into the 20th and then the 21st century.

The reason they didnt mention self defense against street thugs or hunting was

That stuff was Taken for GRANTED,, Its as obvious as the right to INhale & Exhale, everybody does it, SO, they didnt write those down,
