I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons. They should disarm. Right? Right? I think they should disarm immediately. What do you think? Yes? Yes. Yeah. Take their guns away. She doesn\u2019t want guns. \u2026 Let\u2019s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, okay? It would be very dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<fieldset class=\"zemanta-related\">\n<legend class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/legend>\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
