Sometimes gun slingers even get shot with their own guns. Of course the thought of that happening to you probably never enters your mind.
Nobody "slings guns". This isn't Dodge City. Your attitude reeks of elitism and snobbery.
The chances of someone taking a firearm away from someone who is willing to use it are extremely small. As a matter of fact, the chances of somebody doing ANYTHING except running away in fear once a firearm is pointed at them are extremely small. You watch too much TV if you think people actually rush TOWARD someone with a gun.
