Islamic terrorists invade the WashPo offices and start shooting people. Robinson hears the gunfire and doesn't know what to do. One of the terrorists barges into Robinson's quarters, but one brave office worker sneaks up and klonks the terrorist over the head with a hard object knocking him out.

Within easy reach of Robinson is the terrorist's automatic weapon. What do you think Robinson might do? Wait for the swat team to save everybody, or pick up the weapon? Unless Robinson is the stupidest person in the world, he picks up the automatic rifle.

He might pick it up, but would he know how to use it? Would he even know which end to point at the terrorist?
