Well it does no really. The people with the guns often don't have much political power. They just follow what other people tell them. From the other side of the barrel it doesn't seem like that though.
Is there the occasional political power behind a gun? Sure, but commonly not
I think the punchline is that they give the map to the adventurer (presumably Indiana Johnes) so that he can steal the golden statue, so they don't have to do the work of resetting the traps.
