You missed the point entirely. Currently shows do center around firearms, just the depictions are consistently authority figure + firearm = competence, non-authority figure + firearm = incompetence. The only exception to this is criminal + firearm = competence, but in many ways villains and criminals are depicted in similar ways to authority figures but mirrored morally. You can see this in GI Joe itself.
The depictions are never "ordinary man happens to own firearms, is competent, and it is not necessarily central to the plot in a way that shows his natural inferiority to an armed authority figure".
