and by the way, I think it's ridiculous that the pro-gun camp thinks guns are the maligned weapon. Hell, guns are practically unregulated in the states compared to blades. I can buy all the guns I want up to (and in some places including) automatic rifles, but if I get a knife longer than 3" I can be arrested. In several states I can carry a gun hidden anywhere I want, but if I hide a 3" knife I get arrested. If I tell people I carry a gun they ask me what kind it is. If I tell them I carry a knife they look at me funny and sometimes back away. Knives are viewed in this society as more dangerous and offensive than guns, which I really don't get - after all, when's the last time you heard of a drive-by knifing?
So considering gun people have a huge-assed lobbying group that can get them just about anything they want, I see no reason for them to take offense at a forum that includes all forms of weaponry, not just firearms.
Oh, and by the way, a gun IS a weapon.
