If they call it a weapon, it gives them an excuse that can be used to take it away. Frankly, nearly anything can be a weapon - it is a matter of intent...sidelock said:I object to calling my hunting arms WEAPONS, they are not for killing people (weapons), but are used for the taking of game for use on my table. :shake:
Blackhand is spot on. Words have meaning. In the case of our arms, intent and use a effect definition. Anything can be a weapon, but isn't until used as such. A hammer isn't a weapon,,, until it is used to bash someone's head in. A pen isn't a weapon, until someone sticks it in your neck or your eye. None of my arms are weapons, from my muzzleloader to my Scout Rifle, to my daily carry 1911's, until/unless and adversarial confrontation arises and said arm is then used as a weapon. Interestingly, if we stick with that logic, I would dare say none of us that hunt consider our hunting arms "weapons," but, the anti-hunters sure do.

Fixed that for you.Christophero said:When you pull the trigger and something dies then it is a weapon,just like a bow and arrow,a tomahawk or a mace. These just happen to be less complicated than an AR15.
