Just watched this great film again and it occurred to me that Hector throwing the guns away at the end was probably not a good idea. There must have been other survivors (in submarines for example). And who knows how the 'end of the world' would have affected them.
shareYeah. Even if enough time had passed that all the zombies had turned to dust, there were probably some survivors around who may have had bad intentions. I'd want to keep the guns around just for insurance.

What do you do with your guns when they get dirty? Clean them? Pffft.
The whole point of Hector throwing away the guns was meant to show that they were starting a new civilization without guns or violence.
shareBingo. Seems silly in 'real-world' terms but it makes sense in film language.

Tactically, and perhaps strategically stupid, but even my 13 year old (at the time) firearm enthusiast brain realized it was about civilization starting over and believing that human conflict would never arise again.
...and Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice, whenever he's away
that moment would not go down well today with the 2A crowd.
shareYeah, a very stupid move to dump perfectly functional weapons.
Stay well armed and hope you don't need guns, its much better than praying to God for help.
GOD does NOT care about you but a few firearms will save your ass.
