You only need to look up the Battle of Okinawa to see why they wouldn't trust CIVILIANS with weapons either.
They had the same issue in Germany too that led to the 'werwolf' paranoia for a while not to mention there were still a few legitimate traps placed for allied soldiers by resentful Germans after WW2.
It was stupid not to repeal it all later though when it was confirmed they wouldn't want to murder you all when they got their guns and swords back as that stifled having more home grown experience with weapons.
Yes that's what I was inferring

The Allied powers claim "we're freeing them from authoritarian rule" and "we're fighting for freedom" whilst banning the civilians from having guns .
