[Pokémon] Why don’t Team Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic, etc. carry guns?

I’m referring to the animé and the games here.

They’ve proven that they don’t care about murder, and unfair advantages are essentially part of their job description. With that in mind, is there any reason for them not to carry guns and maybe a knife in addition to a few Pokémon?

Gun culture didn't really develop in Pokemon.  Pokemon themselves are far more useful and versatile tools than guns could ever be anyways.  So why bother with a gun, when any pokemon could probably also kill a person and is totally legal to own?  The pokemon is also capable of many other functions too.
