This is what happens when you give someone who is weak of strength and will an ounce of power. It's why I hate that line from the Captain America movie. Weak people don't know how to wield power responsibly. Typically the wield it with incredible maliciousness and a hunger for revenge.
It's also why they don't want people to be armed. If you gave these Karens guns, they'd be likely to kill at least someone, regardless of the charges. If you gave them that power without accountability, they'd kill half the people they'd meet.
They got a sliver of power, and now they intend to abuse that power until they can get you to kill yourself.
This is where the "guns kill people, not people kill people" thinking comes from.
They lose self control when they hold one. They feel power. And because they're solipsistic in their thinking, but also cannot accept blame, they have to transfer blame to an inanimate object instead.
"I would never kill someone, but when I had the gun, I did. I wouldn't have been tempted if I didn't". - No, they were always tempted to kill someone, they just didn't have an easy out.
