Why is that a good thing? Because there is a central authority that can enact a peace within the country through strength. When militias exist there is no determining the outcome of the guns.
What was seen by Americans in Nevada with actions of a militia. The escalation to the point of threatening the government's employees was anarchy. There was no controlling it.

The militias were instituted by the former President Yanukovych in cooperation with oligarchs to enforce a certain political outcome under the thumb of oppression.

promised amnesty for those who do. But the immediate answer from behind
the barricades was defiant.
As one of the leaders of
the occupation in Donetsk put it to CNN, "We have not come this far just
to leave without our demands being met. It is the Kiev government that
is illegitimate. They have to give up the buildings they have seized."
There was a similar response from protest leaders in the southern city
