The request (to bring guns) is rather implicit, as my last post attempted to show. War is about fighting with guns. What other props could they have brought to a war project? Perhaps a Flag and a sling shot? Hell, the sling shot would have been illegal too, and the Revolutionary War flag looks too much like the first Confederate National flag, another taboo prop. I guess they could have come dressed as Minute Men, carrying...... let's see..... what did those 'ol Minute Men carry? OOPS - guns? I think they chose the LOGICAL props, the problem being we live in ILLOGICAL, PC, insane times.
