I think (A) Because its a kids' book and (B) Because it's a UK writer 
and themed book. Where I don't think guns are as accepted as they 
are in the USA. I could be wrong on this, but it's just the feeling 
I've gotten from the few UK people I've talked to over the years.

Now, if this was a book geared towards adults and not children..I 
can imagine there being guns involved...hum..If it was an American 
wizarding school (laughs) hum....
Imagins the last scene in book 7, Harry standing in front of 
Voldemort point a wand and gun at him going: "You gota ask yourself 
one question..do you feel lucky Punk...."
Sorry, I have a silly since of humor.

But I seriously think that it is because it is a children's book and 
that is why there are no guns involved.
But, if I personally was a witch living in that crazy world, I would 
surly own some sort of gun. Maybe that's why we really haven't seen 
many American witches/wizards in the story in importaint rolls...

(American Witch Puts on Cowboy Hat and 2-6 shooter and Walks up to 
Professor Snape and says "So, are you a good wizard or a bad 
wizard?")Hum..I feel a fanfic coming on! 

Ok, thats enough of my silly ideas.
