Bruce: Positive. Let's ride.
— Justice League (the Wild West episode)

Travis: What kind of things?
Beck: Very bad things, Travis.

Catwoman: Where's the fun in that?
"He hated weapons, and not just because they'd so often been aimed at him. You got into more trouble if you had a weapon. People shot you instantly if they thought you were going to shoot them. But if you were unarmed, they often stopped to talk. Admittedly, they tended to say things like, 'You'll never guess what we're going to do to you, pal,' but that took time. And Rincewind could do a lot with a few seconds. He could use them to live longer in."
"Guns are loaded by the Devil."
—Spanish proverb
"Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?"
— The Joker, The Dark Knight
It's my Pappy's Colt. Same one he used to renovate the back of his skull when I was seventeen. I don't like guns. Must be the only fella in Mojave Country who don't, but once you've seen what a Colt does, what it's made for – which is turning a living, breathing human bean into ground chuck – well, the shine goes off fast.
—I'm The Lady Of Good Times, She Said, by Helen Marshall
"So uncivilized..."
— Obi-Wan Kenobi, Revenge of the Sith
"Guns. So primitive."
— Okoye, Black Panther (2018)
I hate guns. I can use them, but I don't like being around them: they add this terrible random act-of-no-god-at-all angle to any fight. Bang, you're dead, even if you weren't the person the shooter was aiming for, even if it's an accidental discharge. At least I only kill people I mean to kill, when I grab them with one or another of the Eater of Souls' notional appendages.
The Archer was one of those odd modern types who used gunpowder weapons. They were a bit after her time, and honestly she didn't see the appeal. They were flashy and loud and just added to the chaos on the battlefield. As foul as her powers could be, at least they were quick and quiet.
— Assassin's thoughts, Fate/Harem Antics
I rap three words: No more guns!
Yeah, I used them once, but now I'm done.
If you wanna be smart, then listen close.
There are better ways to make a man a ghost!

"I think... there's something real tasteless about bringing a gun or a knife to a fight. Whoever's got the weapon wins, right? That ain't a real fight. Men're meant to rip each other apart with their own power. You feel me?"
— Kendo Rappa, My Hero Academia
"Carrying a gun around is just another way of saying you've got no confidence in a fight. "
— Itsuka Kendo, My Hero Academia
"I do know what guns are, but I do not like them. There is no honor in killing an enemy from a distance."
— Alsan, The Idhun Chronicles
I don't like guns. They make it too easy to make the kind of mistakes you can't put right by saying “Sorry” afterwards. Besides, I've never felt the need.
—John Taylor, Something from the Nightside
What's this?! A new kind of gun? A new way to KILL PEOPLE?

Jim Gordon: That's your thing.

Rance: If we're going to overturn Freeth and his gang, we've got to have weapons. We've got a certain number of old-fashioned firearms, but we've also... acquired a few of the Entertainment Division security weapons.
Onya: But I won't let you even consider using them.
The Brigadier: They seemed rather effective to me!
Onya: Ah, a barbarous weapon. A full charge means total permanent paralysis, a nasty, lingering death. How can the new Parakon be based on such a thing, we'd be no better than those we fight!
