A different society.
It wouldn't work here.
It does work here, Here, there are a lot of guns in the population. In places "Here" where there aren't any idiotic gun laws, the law abiding peacable folks keep guns. In these places there are remarkably low homicide and armed crime rates. There is a direct correlation between the restrictive gun laws and crime, the higher the crime, the tighter the restriction on peacable citizens right to bear arms. The tighter the restriction on peaceable citizens right to bear arms, the higher the crime. Why this simple logic eludes the anti-gunners is a complete and total mystery to me. It can only be deleberate.
