Gun Control: one child's perspective

My six year old, taking great interest in the world around him, has taken to reading and interpreting signs everywhere we go and reporting his findings to me. 

Upon leaving the library this week, he noticed a 'no weapons sign' similar to this, which he reported as:

"No Knives. No Guns."
"That's right."
"That's a good rule."
"It is."

there was a bit of a pause as he mulled something over... 

"hmmm... but I bet robbers won't follow it." 
"what do you mean?"
"Well, robbers always carry a gun."
"ok, well, maybe if they see the sign, they'll leave it in their car? If they know that's the rules?"
"No they won't."
"Why not?"

"Because robbers are bad guys.  Bad guys don't follow the rules."
