@TheHossUSMC You are not incorrect in calling them firearms, of course,
but, always referring to them as such can seem wooden and artificial; it also fails to address an individual's basically childish views on weapons or firearms in particular. I just don't want any fellow gun owners to put themselves at a disadvantage in debate, by taking the questionable stance that a firearm has somehow not achieved weaponhood as long as it has not been used for the purpose for which it was designed.
I wouldn't own any guns at all, if human beings and animals were somehow impervious to bullets. I'm not ashamed to say it and deal with the disagreement at this basic level. It doesn't make me callous or bloodthirsty to say that weapons undeniably have value.
I don't give a shit what you wanna call your guns, but I'm no fool for wanting to refer to mine as firearms.

Well said. Word games and semantics simply reframe the debate from what it should be.
Keep and bear arms.

This is a "foundational" video for you... similar in significance to nutnfancy's depussification diatribe.

Great vid, you slipped that media bailout topic in under the rug, that could be a topic all on its own.
