Just quickly, before I go to bed, I think the reason for this bias about swords and guns is fairly understandable. Today, swords aren't realistically used violently. They're collectables. Decorations. Yes, they are weapons, but almost nobody owns swords for any functional purpose (if they did, the function would be "learning to swordfight" or something, rather than defense). Gun owning, on the other hand, is, in almost all cases, about function. You own a gun so that, if the need arises, you can kill something with it.
The purpose of swords and guns may be technically identical, but their place in today's world is not at all analogous.
