Maybe. Most people DON'T know how to use a gun though, and it is a lot easier to disarm someone with a gun than someone with a knife. The guy I trained under (ex-military instructor and grandmaster ) likes to say that in a knife fight "you always get cut". From my experience, that is true.
I guess it depends on circustance, but I at least would much rather take my chances disarming someone who had a gun than a knife.

I'd like to see you disarm me when I have a 9mm pointed at you...and I am not being sarcastic; I would merely be very surprised if you succeeded.

I do MMA and a little Karate, to answer the original post.

Part of my Jiujitsu Training Involved some Anti Terrorist Techniques performed admirably by some former Mossad Agents.

I agree that it can be easy to disarm someone with a Gun, but it's never safe to assume it, and that the person behind the weapon doesn't know how to use it. I've been firing guns since I was six, I'm pretty sure I could kill someone very easily who thought they could disarm me. Of course, I would have to assume that this person was a threat to me, and I had my 9mm on me.

lol, I'm not saying I could, but I certainly think I would have a better chance of disarming someone who had a gun, than someone who had a knife.

It is stupid to assume that anyone is incompetant. You should always assume the worst. :P
There are so many ways to distract someone with a gun, to evade him long enough to get close enough to disarm him, etc. It is easy to get killed when someone has a gun and wants to kill you, but it is a lot easier when they have a knife.

My instructor taught me a lot of rolls that can be executed faster than a gunman could react, and cover a pretty great distance. Hopefully getting you close enough to him to disarm him before he has the change to redirect him aim.
