What I recall is them wanting tanks and artillery, as well as helicopters and other armored vehicles. The latter are reasonable requests; the former not so much.

If the government can't control the stuff, then they will never be able to run the country. Sure, a few police and soldiers will use theirs as part of the militias they also belong to. But if the government can't have weapons, how can they ever hope to fight insurgants, militias and other criminals.

That's the conundrum. But I wouldn't give heavy weapons to a militia-riddled government. Kick out the militias, and then we'll talk.
