Go up to them and give them your personal assurance that just because they are giving their firearms up, the bad guys will be too (and there's a lot of bad guys there) and if they ever get into a situation where they think their life is in danger on the street or someone is kicking their back door down in the middle of the night, they should call emergency services and wait for assistance. Tell them you're from England to drive home the point that you know all about these things, and that's how you do it there with great success, and that they should try it too. You clueless fucking idiot.
