It was overall a pretty great scene though.

The point is that it doesn't matter what's tough to acquire. Frank doesn't operate that way. It doesn't matter if objectively he got a bad deal, they got far more out of those strawberries just in that one scene than a gun was ever going to be worth to them, particularly given how many guns Bill has.
That said - *pushes up glasses * - Hemi-Cuda's head canon is still wrong because in the game Joel and Tess had no idea who Frank even was and never met him, which is of course contradicted well before that strawberry scene in the show. SO THERE.

For one thing, Joel isn't a particularly trusting person 20 years into the apocalypse, so he isn't ready to just hand someone he just met a weapon.

Also, if he gives her a gun, she might try to shoot someone with it, and in an encounter with other people with guns, that would lead to them shooting at her instead of just him (i.e., the only threat to them who is shooting at them). So it's a bit of a protective measure. If she doesn't have a gun she can't help and the best thing she can do is get behind cover.
Anyway, IMDB should just delete all the 1* reviews, because the resulting outrage would be funny.
