Jormungand 1

My first attempt at translating a longer text. I often found it difficult to think of how to express something I understand in Japanese into English, so watch out for weird English - -;
Also, there are a few sentences I had underlined where I either wasn't able to translate it at all, or wasn't sure, but now the lines aren't showing up and I'm too tired to go through it all again T T. Still, I've really gotten into this series and I hope that more people will be able to enjoy it!!

The one thing you'll have no choice but to use to make it past them? ....that's right, a gun.

１　銃を捨てられるか？
Could you throw away your gun?
２　無理だね、君は一生武器を捨てられない。
That would never happen, would it. There's no way you would be able to discard weapons.
