Lazs, I refer you to the situation in Zimbabwe, where
Tomato is from. There, those 6 bad guys might well be 6 of Robert Mugabe's henchmen, come to seize possession of a white owned farm or ranch. Even though many of the white farmers were armed, it didn't do them any good.
Tomato says hi, by the way, and no - you can't have her.
