NO GUNS AGAIN (spoilers ahead)

My only complaint is the same one I had about the first season - no guns!!! I mean you have people inevitably being forced to leave the protection of their force field (which isn't worth beans if a creature can jump over it, which is what happened in the first season), venture forth into the wilderness, and inevitably encountering nasty creatures (this time velociraptor-like carnivores). I am not talking about turning the space family Robinson into the space family Rambo, I simply ask for a little common sense on the part of the producers.

Diversity is bad, guns are good.

Damnit I got it wrong. Now I need re-education.

I find plenty of flaws in this show, but on this issue, I might cut them some slack. This is mission #24 to Alpha Centauri, and they probably found from the first 23 missions that nothing went wrong and they were just on a cruise ship to a colony with no side adventures, so why bring along guns, unless you're planning on shooting at other passengers?

Please remember the colonists are not on a "cruise ship", they are on a starship and their goal is to colonize and eventually populate an alien world. Simple rules of survival dictate they should prepare for the worst.
