everyone should be able to shoot everything.

This is the same logic of why hand-to-hand combat won't be added. I do fully agree with no including direct gunplay.

Many of you that are not kids are viewing this from a child point of view which i like but this game has enough safety and uninfluenced reasons of crimes which it cant be the reason why pirates cant shoot at everything. you guys are taking the shooting thing to literal. I don't expect children to go kill someone with a gun as many of you mentioned because we are allowed to use blades in this game to kill any enemy and a blade is a very common household item(knife) therefore blades should have a greated effect than guns in influencing kids but it doesnt.

The real reason why pirates cant shoot at everything is because thats how the game started and it was added as part of the pirate code. It would be nonsense to change that because its something that will change many parts of the game so in my opinion its useless to argue on whether guns should be able to human beings in pirates online because i dont think it will ever be changed.

I agree with Eliza here. Think of all the other things that could be worse, and more common than guns. Hand to hand is something everyone can do, even dogs. If they added it, the kids would think that since their pirate can do it, so can they.

So explain me whats stopping a kid from taking a knife from his kitchen and stabbing random people on the street??? Nothing-you cant just say that a game will influence real life events. If blades haven't influenced that kind of stuff on kids then i dont think that there is a chance guns doing so. Also guns are already usable in game so it wouldn't make the slightest difference on kids life(also think rated 10+ and parental controls)
I'm used to no guns shooting at navy and stuff therefore i like game as it is plus i only play because of ship pvp.
