Would a bow and arrow be considered a "firearm"? A crossbow?

[Lexinom]

Taken to its logical conclusion, any solid object - a rock - can be considered a firearm.

Trouble is, where is the "fire" in the BB-gun firearm?

If they start to outlaw cross-bows and such...then the NRHA will be on this (National Robin Hood Association).

These folks up in Minnesota would never make it in the real world. If we packed up 10 of these characters and brought them to New York City...they'd be begging for mercy within sixty minutes...begging to go back to St Paul.

No, silly. It clearly said explosive or "compressed gas" and a projectile.

So that would include a straw and a spit wad.
