Should guns attached to wearables be approved ?
MetaParty have already had a wearable approved and published named the Meta Soldier. The wearable includes a detailed black pistol attached to the avatars hand. This wearable was approved within 10 days. We have sold over 200 of theses wearables to the DCL community.

Recently we have submitted another wearable named the Exo Soldier. This wearable includes two golden pistols with suppressors. After 14 days of the wearable being under review we received a reply from a curator stating that wearables with guns are being discussed, as they may fall under the violent content category.

Furthermore if guns are now classed as violent content then will all swords be classed as violent content and also need to be changed. I understand the two are different but depending on where you are in the world swords/knifes can be a lot more commonly used in violent crimes then guns.
In addition if weapons are now rejected what will be approved. Is a water pistol or "ray gun" acceptable?
