I can imagine a world without guns... I can also imagine a world with out guns that somebody comes along in, and invents,,, you guessed it!! Ladies and Gentlemen, I know present to you,,, "THE GUN"!
 
Look to the recent genocide in Africa. The weapons of choice were machetes, bricks and sticks. They didn't have to waste their precious ammo if they were murdering unarmed women and children.
 
Imagine a World Without Guns.

Been there, done that.

We called it the Dark Ages.

Guns ensure that the weak and civilized can meet the large and ruthless on equal terms.

They are quite literally the basis of civilization.
 
We've got some great ideas, here.

I'd start with "Imagine a World Without Guns" at the top of a picture like this:

"A large hand around a small throat." Or even better, a smallish woman, her face a little bruised, cowering before a large, well-built man, both unarmed. Preferably, they would be in some sort of period garb, to remind the viewer that we've already tried a world without guns.

And at the bottom, "The gun IS EQUALITY. The gun IS CIVILIZATION."
 
Looking great--and some really good ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing the next iteration.
 
"Hey, Dudeacus..what time is it?"

"Judging by the shadows, we've been dying for 45 minutes."

"Dang, I wish we'd just bleed out and get it over with."

"Yeh, if I could reach my arm over by the tree I'd beat myself to death."

A world without guns would ensure a slow, painful death. As mentioned, "Braveheart" shows that most graphically.

Great work, Oleg...as usual!

We tried a world without guns for like 5,000 years.

It didn’t work.

So, we invented guns.

The result isn’t utopia, but it's a heck of a lot better.

You may want to elaborate on that thought before you use it as support for firearms.
