Ok so the year begins and I have to say once again that I am so very tired of reading/hearing the word "Weapon" from people that should know and understand the difference.
A weapon is a tool which is intended to or is used to injure, kill a person, damage or destroy property, or to otherwise render resources non-functional or unavailable. Weapons may be used to attack and defend, and consequently also to threaten or protect. ...
A firearm is a device that can be used as a weapon that fires either single or multiple projectiles propelled at high velocity by the gases produced through rapid, confined burning of a propellant. This process of rapid burning is technically known as deflagration. ...
See the difference, one is...... and the other can be used as................
Sorry, I just get a little upset that those of us that should use the correct term, don't, Even the NRA says it's a Firearm. It sounds like the evening news around here, honestly.
Now, back to my Scotch. <Rant Off>
