The plan to arm 30,000 civilians in NWFP is not the way to curb increasing terrorism and crime. It will only bring a 'cowboy' culture of western America of the 16th centaury. People will resort to targeting their rivals on the pretext of killing terrorists and criminals. Serious problems might also be created for the police and the judiciary in catching and punishing the killers.
Moreover, citizens of other provinces will also demand that they should be armed too to protect themselves against car and cell phone snatchers as the government has failed to provide any protection for them.
