I have to ask all of you something that I really can't find an answer to... and I really need an answer.

It will sound horrible but I'm taking the worst case.

If I take a GUN, and aim it to Vitalik's head (ETH), or Justin's Head (TRX), or Changpeng (Binance) head, or Anatoly (SOL) head, telling them to shut down their network, that the game is over for them.

Can they do it?

I know that with Bitcoin you can't do it. So please tell me... I'm eager to know the real answer.

To deem decentralisation you are to check a number of validators or miners. For example, there are only 21 validators in BNB and there are thousands of miners all around the world in Ethereum. So BNB is centralised and this network can be stopped by its head. On the other hand, Ethereum can't be stopped by Vitalik as it is decentralised.
