The word WEAPON

[gumpokc]

Hmm...i always thought a weapon, was _anything_ used in an aggressive manner.

cars....planes....rope...shoelaces...pencils...roll of quarters...rifle/pistol/shotgun...even words can be a weapon...doesn't matter _what_ it is, it's the intenton _behind_ it's usage.


a firearm, is a tool, built to launch a small bit of metal at a high rate of speed and strike a predetermined spot at a distance.

There used to be a guy (can't remember name offhand) who would shoot thin copper sheets with a .22 and make pictures...is that a tool or a weapon?

Was a guy here in oklahoma awhile back, took a black and decker drill and ran it through his wifes forehead while she was sleeping....is that a tool or a weapon?

Anything can be a weapon, including parts of a person body, Anything can be a tool.....it all depends on the usage one puts those things too.
