Hunting and defense are both using the gun for killing.

Gheto safaris?

yes but thats like saying we should ban fire extinguishers to prevent fires.

No, it's not. Not even close.

Why is having a gun for home defense a bad thing then?

I never made that statement.

Having a gun or having an arsenal

your argument hinges on guns being used "for killing" and that somehow justifies banning them despiute the non sequitur

I never made that statement either.

the number of guns is literally irrelevant

if you're safe and responsibe with one gun you will continue being safe and responsible with a stockpile of them

It makes theft easier

lol how?

Need to commit only one burglary

do gunsafes not exist in your country? I can buy them at fucking costco.

You made the, apologise the rudeness, but. Retarded statement that a gun can be used as a tool. Which it cannot.
Comparing them to knives, which are tools. Is not the same comparison.
If you're comparing them to swords? Sure. Then we can compare it.

I never made any statement on whether guns should be banned or not.

if I use a shotgun with blanks to run a boat-to-boat line charge is it still a weapon?

Break ins occur far less frequently in areas where more people illegally own guns

Am I seeing an underlying "NAP of animals" thing in play here?

You just made that implication because you're trying to defend guns using retarded logic that you cannot see your own faulty arguements.

In the medieval era, was a sword a weapon exclusively?

whether or not guns are weapons - btw legally, anything used to assault someone is a weapon - isn't important

You could make the argument that a gun is tool for killing

Yes it was Jek. A knife wasn't. A sword was.

even so, what is your point?

Did people not use the blade to cut things in the field?

at which point does a bladed weapon stop being a weapon then?

Different countries have different laws on this.

what is the distinction?

12 cm

Length of blade, concealment, etc.

In mine

no you've already ignored the laws

im talking logically

im not interested in whatever obligatory number the bureaucrats have decided to set

You haven't lived in the American West, so I can understand why you wouldn't acknowledge that a gun can be a tool

It varies. There's no one answer.
But you can compare all the numbers and use the common denominator if you want.

It's about perception

lmao so we should just average up all the EU's draconian knife laws for the one true answer? what a laugh.

In America, to legal gun owners, a gun is at the same time a weapon, a tool, and a recreational implement.
