It's not the same. You ban guns, you can still get them illegally and citizens have no way to defends themselves. The state is still allowed guns no matter what. If you get rid of the cops, the state has no means to enforce their tyranny. Let me own weapons and I would never need 'police' to begin with. I don't disagree with the factors that changed, but the police will always eventually be used by the state against people, as we are seeing today in a "democratic" country. Voters are retarded. Politics is theatre which never fixes anything. Media and education (state backed) are tools for propagandizing people to participate in this clown show. Without the disease (state), we wouldn't have enforcers of the state. Ergo, fuck the police.
