Hm.....

Gonna have to stop doing volunteer work at the orphanage, the convent, and
the Buddhist temple.

ducking and covering.

You need to have a more expansive view of what a "community" is. Fact is
that none of the places you mention can be absolutely free of guns, because
someone can always bring one in from the outside...perhaps to kill the
occupants...like the communists in Nepal have done to the Buddhist temples.

Guns exist and are a part of our world and our world society. This means
that people need to learn to deal with guns and with those who misuse guns.
The fact is that in many cases, the only way to deal with someone misusing a
gun is to defend yourself with another gun.
