"not stabilized go around"
"negative we continue"
"I say again not stabilized go around"
"negative"
"xxx twr abc123 going around"
Still no response?.....
I see no reason why not to reach for the gear handle at that point?
A situation very similar to this has happened very recently in Europe so don't think it can not happen.
I am reading a lot here that suggests inflicting a greater degradation of safety by initiating a fight for control without consideration to differentiating between an imminent disaster and a violation of accepted standards. For example, I suggest it would likely be much safer to NOT initiate a fight for control of the aircraft in a situation where the aircraft is under good control and some cowboy decides to bust minimums to get in. Obviously, you have some conversation and thinking to do after completing the parking check.

Be sure to differentiate between actual imminent danger and violated standards. There IS always a margin between the two, often times a big one.
