Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Not even Magnus was ready to stand up to guns yet . None of them would attempt to hunt down Tamm or Kait , either . The two had given them a license to cause havoc and chaos . It may have been safe , hidden in that cell , but for even the most lucid and intelligent of demons , it had been far too long without destruction . Even if only death or burial awaited them , it was time to fight . As for Tamm and Kait , they could only hope that the demons took some angels or soldiers with them . 
Question: What's a possible reason Magnus was not ready to stand up to guns ?
Output (English): Because guns are powerful .
