Why on the cover for the film is Stephen Dorff holding a gun? The point of the movie, and even the tagline ("Before they fought with guns, they fought with guts.") exude the fact that these gangs didn't need guns.

Heh, yeah. I noticed that too. And, if you notice, a couple people do indeed die by bullets in that movie. But ah well. I think the tagline, as you said, was meant to kind of emphasize that section of the point that they didn't need guns. But hey, they used them anyway. Oh well. x)
shareIn the movie the "bad guys" have guys but The Deuces never use guns....the tagline means (imo) before the way present day gangs operate, it used to be with your fits, and the issue at hand actually mattered.

^That's got nothing to do with the original question. No one ever asked for the meaning of the tagline, since it is quite an obvious meaning...
Waaarriors, come to playy-y-ayyy!
Actually in one point of the movie, he does pull out a guy, but the guy is taken off of him... the part where the little boys dad smacks him in the head, and he wants a pretzel... and they they beat his dad up...
but when they go outside and the other gang is waitin with bats... one guy comes out with a bug but the leader of the gang takes it off of him...
