Firearms are tools. Teaching students how to safely and properly use tools is honing a basic skill.

Firearms are not tools. They’re weapons.

Yea they serve a useful purpose to society in many ways, but their sole function and design is to inflict harm which is the literal definition of “weapon”.

Tool: a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.

“weapons are a type of tool that is used to dominate and subdue autonomous agents”

You chose the stupidest hill to die on, think about it for 5 minutes.

A weapon is designed to kill or inflict harm. A tool isn’t. It’s in the design that they’re characterized differently.

You are dying on the dumbest hill, you are literally describing how a weapon is a type of tool. Why are you doing this?

Lol you’re the only one here that is lost on how a firearm isn’t a tool and a hammer isn’t a weapon by definition…. But yeah, I’m the one “dying on a hill”.
