Plays were not banned at any time during Shakespeare's career. Censored, certainly, but never banned. Indeed the writing and performing of plays was actively encouraged by both monarchs in this period (provided, of course, they were acceptable to the censor). Although certain officials in the City of London opposed the building of playhouses and the performances of the adult companies due to the health risks, traffic problems and increase in crime involved, the acting companies just went into the suburbs to perform. There was no obstacle of this kind to Shakespeare's career as a writer.

Would cops be able to carry weapons if guns were banned?

If you take the example of the UK (where guns are banned), the normal police on duty on the streets are not armed with guns. There are UK police trained to use and carry guns but they only do so when responding to a situation where a criminal is seen to be armed. Based on this tried example, is is clear that if guns were banned effectively, the police would not need to carry weapons.
