I mean, guns are mostly used now, but we've only really used them for a couple hundred years. A-GREED! Uncle Grandpa satirizies this all the time "We can't use a knife, its too dangerous! So instead we'll use this glass sword!" Also i'm just sick of EVERY cartoon world being a slightly distant future where they replaced bullet guns with laser guns. NEWSFLASH- a functioning laser could kill someone just as easily as the bullet version!

The Looney Tunes show had a surprising use of guns in at least four episodes, especially Semper Lie, The Shell Game, and Granny's story in Eligible Bachelors. I was extremely surprised to see it in that show and this one caught me a little off guard but I got over it pretty quick. I guess as long as no one gets shot and they don't do it excessively, no harm no foul.

In fact now that I think about it, in all the times shots were fired in BTAS I only remember two characters actually getting hit.
