“That weapons of war phrase liberals are bouncing around sure starts getting blurry...”
Yup, but it makes for great sound bites on the news after a thug robs or shoots someone.
Everything you can imagine can be a weapon of war, so the term really has no meaning. Don’t forget, Karl Marx said international trade is just another form of war.
During the Cold War, I frequently was armed with an Air Force provided, Smith & Wesson Model 15, .38 special, six-shot revolver (complete with “military style” ball ammunition to be compliant with Geneva Convention protocols).
I guess that under the current media’s interpretation, that revolver would be considered a “military style, weapon of war” firearm...
When you've been overrun and you are out of ammo (one of the unsung 'virtues' of full-auto fire!), an E-tool makes a suitable 'weapon of war'.
