I think it's interesting how the Edith stated Damore had said women were worse at their job, while one of the other women explicitly said he didn't, and the other only mentioned interest in programming. This is similar to the divi

How so? How would having a gun in a cupboard or somewhere help you in a situation like this? Once you are at gunpoint it's game over, regardless of gun control. It's easy to imagine this is hollywood where the hero easily escapes
