In South Africa we strict gun laws - getting a 9mm sidearm is difficult enough - don't bother with something like an AR-15.
But we have per capita probably the largest number armed private security companies - what happened when we had unrest in one of provinces - the owners of these companies formed self defense groups where they lived with their staff and had AK'47/AR-15 and stuff not available to normal citizens.
Our suburbs are still racially segregated so they turned around those folks who did not fit the profile.
They kept the looters out - but some got out of control and shot up innocent people that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The army was eventually mobilized and the sight of soldiers and wheeled APC's convinced them it is was time to go home now that the professionals were here.
