The US Army was actually pulling front line soldiers out of combat positions to relieve them of their weapons.
Don't like weapons?
No problem, substitute something else. How about the right to drive a car? Spouses have run their wives/husbands over with a car.
In Germany they have that very law.
If you fail to pay your child maintenance or are convicted of domestic violence you can get together with any other sentence you would receive for the offence, either a driving ban or a fine and points on your licence. Driving is being viewed, not as a mode of essential transport, but a form of liberty...
