Not everyone who owns a gun and knows how to use it is necessarily pro-gun. Some people have them because they are reacting to living in a gun ridden country. We can't get rid of them at the moment, so it's not a bad idea to learn how to protect yourself in the meantime.

That being said, even gun owners have to tread carefully around certain types of people.

It was a joke about how the second half of the film was a warning about arms races.
