The appellate court reinstated the charge against Fleming, finding that a firearm is "any gun from which a shot or a projectile is discharged by means of explosive, gas or compressed air."

spitballs!

[ME-262]

I guess as a child I and my friends were an armed militia and engaged in gun battles, and we just thought we were playing with our BB-guns. Our firecrackers are probably also now considered bombs

"discharged by means of explosive, gas or compressed air."... By this definition my A$$ could be a firearm!

If we let them take away our BB-guns they'll come for our knives next, and then we'll be stuck eating our steak with nothing but spoons and forks!

Exactly! Spitballs are projectiles discharged (explosively) by compressed air. According tho this wacky judge, such things that have nothing to do with fire are "firearms."

Continuing this illogical definition of "firearms," hairspray, other household sprays, fire extinguishers, yogurt at high altitude, pressurized soft drink cans, and living animals all discharge projectiles by means of compressed air/gas. Would this judge categorize all these as "firearms?" Maybe he needs a dictionary.
