A gun, is a point and shoot weapon, no skill is needed, therefore anyone can usethem and to be honest as a weapon, it would be easier to use from the killing point of view i.e. distance from the target, the nitty gritty and gore is avoided thus making it easy to do.
Swords, are heavy and pretty useless in the wrong hands, they speak of ages passed and carry a romanticism.As a weapon, close quarter fighting, death becomes very real and the likelyhood of the opponent being similarly armed, death by sword, is not a very nice prospect.Swords carry a large degree of barbarism.
Note how when an incident is reported on the news about a killing with a sword, there is horror at those reporting and receiving the news, a shooting with a gun, well it's a common occurance.
Guns, well, I can shoot, have shot, both pistol and self loading rifle, they hold no interest, dirty smelly things that need constant cleaning, and from time to time suffer negligible discharges, so hardly reliable, a machine to do the job.They have one use though, when the bullets are gone, they make a good club-junk.

I like knives, but I don't really own lots of them. I have a folding knife I carry for utilitarian purposes and fishing. I won't buy cheap knives; just like I won't buy cheap guns. I have never really understood people who want to learn swordmanship. A sword is a archaic weapon, and they are completely useless against firearms. They just have no use in the modern world. I do see the beauty in the craftsmanship, and I do like seeing them in museums. But I don't really see the need to own a sword, or the need to learn to use one.
