Should Spielberg have removed guns from E.T.?

For its 20th anniversary, E.T. was re-released in theaters on March 20. Among some minor changes, Spielberg also digitally replaced the guns carried by the government agents pursuing E.T. with walkie-talkies. So, we wondered if you believed guns have no place in the movie, or this is just political correctness gone too far.
