Consider this point and comment, if you will:

Guns are against the natural order, specifically the "flight of fight" trait. Gunless, the little guy in a mismatched fight would run away to safety as a defense whilst the strong would stand and deliver. Strapped, this same little guy would stay to deliver his lethal blow while, this time, the bigger guy who is paralyzed in fear (assuming he has no weapon) would run away. Isn't there something inherently wrong with that? OK, so you say, give the bigger guy a gun and things are on the same footing (as the original scenario), right? Wouldn't they be on the same footing if guns weren't involved at all?
