Well, for the most part,this board is about weapons. If that (correct) term offends people, then they don't have to visit this forum.
When I was on shooting teams, we went to great lengths to make sure than we always referred to our firearms as firearms. But those firearms were purchased and used solely for paper targets. Most of the firearms being discussed on this board were purchased for their ability to kill, making them weapons (like my self defense handgun).
I think that people need to get desensitized to this sort of language (weapons) so it won't be a problem anymore.
