I'm flagging this as unclear, as there's insufficient information to offer a definitive answer. Mari, have you thought to ask the "Prez" what they meant?– Chappo Hasn't ForgottenCommented Feb 23, 2019 at 5:51

@Chappo - it's anime.– JimCommented Feb 23, 2019 at 6:19

"ARE YOU READY GUYS!? PUT YA GUNS ON!"
=> Ready to fight, to run, to start a battle, a new challenge!
The opposite is "Put your gun down". Se the Lyric Put Your Gun Down by Oceana @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E-y_8M1OnQ
Tonight, Don’t fight, I surrender, So, Put your Gun Down
Tonight, Don’t fight, Love stronger, So, put your gun down. (OCEANA)
Congrats, Marco
From the American Wild West! Encyclopedia of Texas page 275
Everybody get your guns ready!" The recorded death toll was 3 sheriffs and 19 citizens.
Not slang, nor is it idiomatic but redolent of all westerns ( movies shows etc ... aka Annie Get Your Gun). And "Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun," urged George M. Cohan in his 1917 song, "Over There. ... Inc., 1916).
Meaning get ready, be prepared to fight!
