Guns do not belong in the list. Guns are weapons, not tools. Don’t bother posting some random edge case that accounts for approximately 0.000001% of use. This is a basic category error.

Governments should make rules banning and/or regulating weapons.

Weapons are tools, by strict definition, and there are legitimate uses for them. Besides, my point was that they should be regulated. In fact, because they are less generally useful than constructive tools, they should be regulated far MORE strictly.

    It seems we can’t have a reasonable discourse here because you are ignoring basic definitions. Have a lovely day!

    No you are pulling a libertarian. You defined a word that is used a particular way to mean what you want it to mean then declare victory.
    
    You are not arguing step-by-step, you are bypassing.
