Question: Why do we allow the media to call guns -— “weapons”?

Most of my guns are not even close to being a weapon! They could be, but should not be called that at this point!

All my guns are weapons. I don't use them to hammer nails or slice bread.

“All my guns are weapons.”

Keep telling all your neighbors & goovement authorities that you have weapons!

I’ll tell mine that I don’t have ‘weapons’!!!!

Guns ARE weapons. They are also situation adaptable - they can be offensive weapons or they can be offense-oriented defensive weapons.
