The anti's love to play with words, so I figured it was my turn now.
According the Federal law, the definition of a "firearm" is something like "a device that uses an explosive charge to propel a projectile." Maybe not the exact words, but something like that.
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought smokeless powder is not truly an explosive but black powder is. So, how can any modern firearm be a "firearm"? The primer is probably an "explosive", but it doesn't propel a projectile.
I was also wondering why all firarms are considered weapons. How is a firearm designed for targets, etc., a weapon? Sure it could be used as one, but so could a cast iron skillet and I don't think anyone who owns a frying pan will get in any trouble if it is concealed.
