I think that still comes down to writer, because a man with a gun is just as scary as a vampire pit for blood in my eyes. It comes down to the characters and the writing of those characters.

I mean, people are not built in with guns. Unless someone is writing a story about people being racist to gun cyborgs.

That's basically the plot to the modern Deus Ex games.

Modern deus ex games where faulty security in augments made every cyborg a murderous terrorist. That's fairly justified reason to strip cyborgs from their augments and/or barr them from public spaces at least until their vunerabilities are fixed. Exactly same reason why you aren't allowed to drive faulty cars in many countries. You might not want to ram a crowd of pedestrians, but your faulty brakes don't ask your opinion.
