Re: "Humans will not be replaced by robots very soon" --- yeah right !!!
Industrial robots are something that is advancing very strongly and it is not uncommon for some production facilities to be robotized to the point that only two out of 50 employees remain - but this is a reality and it should come as no surprise that someone wants workers who don’t complain, don’t need pay and do not go on sick leave or vacation.
As for industrial robots, according to this research, the situation does not seem so bad - people will do easier and less dangerous jobs, which should affect their quality of life, of course for the better.
And as for the skynet and similar SF scenarios, we will have to wait for that - such complex robots or better said androids exist and will exist for a long time only on the movie screen.
Somewhere it’s really hard, but in countries like Austria it’s pretty easy to buy firearms.

Up to 20 million manufacturing jobs around the world could be replaced by robots by 2030, according to analysis firm Oxford Economics. About 1.7 million manufacturing jobs have already been lost to robots since 2000, including 400,000 in Europe, 260,000 in the US, and 550,000 in China, it said. The firm predicted that China will have the most manufacturing automation, with as many as 14 million industrial robots by 2030. However, if there was a 30% rise in robot installations worldwide, that would create $5 trillion in additional global GDP, it estimated. At a global level, jobs will be created at the rate they are destroyed, it said.

In the EU it's getting more and more difficult to get firearms.

Austria is considered to have the most relaxed laws in the European Union.
From aged 18, Austrians can freely buy and own certain types of shotguns and semi-automatic rifles for sport and hunting. They only have to be registered with a licensed dealer within six weeks of purchase.
Non-repeating shotguns don't need a license.
