If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords? was recorded during the duration of late 2007 through 2008 and was released during early 2008. The EP was released free of charge as an internet download and has never been officially released on Compact Disc. Several months later, the band signed with Rise Records. After the release of the EP and Attack Attack!'s signing to Rise, they would sort their line-up to the decided six members (Carlile, Whiting, Shomo, Wetzel, Holgado, Franck) to record their debut-full length album, Someday Came Suddenly. Half of the songs included on If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords? were re-recorded for Someday Came Suddenly, which was also released in 2008.
