There are obivous reasons that they are avoiding guns. *Cough, cough, FCC, cough, cough*.

But aside from that, guns aren't all that original. I mean, were YOU expecting a mecha-tank to be Hiroshi Sato's fearsome weapon? No, I bet you were expecting a gun. I sure as heck was. But the mecha-tank took me by surprise. And the Equalists' goal was never to kill people. It was to take over the city and take people's bending. Although the use of guns would make a coup much more expedient, that would: A- make martyrs and B- defeat the purpose of taking somebody's bending. Kind of hard to do when they're dead. So for the Equalists, guns are not such a hot idea. Now, if, say, the Fire Nation came back as baddies, then there would be no logical reason to hold back on the guns- aside from the FCC and the fact that this is a kids show. (More or less, anyways.)
