Maybe it's me splitting hares again but I don't see it as removing the right to own a weapon, or rather to carry one in public, rather than not recognising it as a right. Anyone who flouts the law, such as carrying an item defined in law as an offensive weapon, automatically becomes a criminal. Everything that follows is the purview of the courts.
Incidentally, other than politics and diplomacy the government doesn't actually have weapons. They rely on the police and the armed forces for that.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
