If you want to make your case to the rest of the ship, please do. It might be a good conversation.
I haven't given or offered anyone else weapons. I think you wouldn't do anything stupid with them if I did. Vindictive, maybe, but not stupid.
To what end?

You know certain people would be intolerable about it, and I don't currently have weapons.
[That 'vindictive' is a compliment, and one he appreciates. Though he'd go for subtler and more personal attacks than weapons.]
As punishment.

Yes, but it might still be a good conversation. It's something we should think about more.
Because they expected punishment would achieve something, or because punishment was considered good in itself?

Then you bring it up.
It's an object lesson.
