Self defense on Mars

+0
−0

Here's the situation:

Mars has been colonized in the near future "“ tens or hundreds of thousands of people live on Mars. For political reasons, EarthGov is against sending weapons to Mars; and, they made it clear that if any resource they do send will be used to make weapons, then they will cut all ties to Mars "” thus forcing Martian settlers to be self"“reliant in that department.

Settlers live in colonies made of mostly underground compounds with some domed areas above ground.

Now, the question is this:
What sort of weapons can the settlers build for self"“defense on Mars? No invasions or pirates from Earth or aliens to worry about... this is simply self"“defense from other settlers when walking home late in a dark Martian tunnel. You can safely assume that, while the settlers can't use terrestrial resources, they are very clever scientists and engineers on their own with access to well"“equipped labs and workshops: the only thing limiting them is what resources they can get on Mars.
