About this audiobook

The year is 2076, the nation’s Tricentennial. Guns are outlawed, but the last seven surviving weapons are in captivity and on display in your city zoo. Billy the Kid’s colt .45, Andrew Jackson’s dueling pistol, a retired military rifle, a backwoods hunting rifle, a playful plastic toy gun, an unfinished nuclear handgun, and the flashy Saturday night special. In plotting and executing their escape, they see for the first time what they were really made for and why they can never be free.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Edward Asner, Tyne Daly, Bruce French, Robert David Hall, Tommy Hicks, Ella Joyce, Marnie Mosiman, James Reeder and Yeardley Smith.

Ratings and reviews

If you are pro-gun then don't waste your money on this work. They personify the guns by using actors and make the guns look like the bad guys when they are tools and at the end, the guns apologize for killing people. Let us not judge catastrophe by the tools at use, but by the hands that hold them.
