Simplified Meaning:

When one person has a gun and others do not, that single person has more power because they can threaten or harm the others. This situation explains why only one person with a weapon can control many others, purely out of fear. An example is a bank robbery where a robber with a gun can make everyone in the bank listen to their commands. Even if there are a hundred people in the bank, they are likely to do whatever the robber says to avoid getting shot. This idea can also be applied to understanding power dynamics in life. If you have a significant advantage that others do not, you may find it easier to influence or direct their actions. However, it's also important to recognize that using power responsibly and ethically is crucial. For instance, if you are in a leadership role at work, your decisions and how you use your authority can greatly affect your team, so it's vital to use your position to create a positive and fair environment.
