What's with the shotguns?

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2001)

Hello all,
Now that the second sequel to "Jurassic Park" is due out this summer, I feel compelled to make a point.
Having read Crichton's novel beforehand, I then saw this movie in theaters in '93 and was disappointed. In the book the park-keepers had no weapons. (Except cattle prods, which are not weapons really.) John Hammond wouldn't allow weapons within park boundaries. To me that was a major point of the story. No weapons means your screwed.
As soon as I saw that first shotgun being wielded it was over for me.
