"The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in
their posession any swords, bows, spears, firearms, or other type of
arms.  The posession of these elements makes difficult the collection
of taxes and dues and tends to permit uprising.  Therefore, the heads
of provinces, official agents, and deputies are ordered to collect all
weapons mentioned above and turn them over to the government."
