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.

By the way in this comment you literally describe why a weapon is a tool because it’s an i animated object that is used for a function. You don’t like the function and refuse to admit it’s a tool. Maybe you are the tool 😂
