Help me out with weapon terminology please

[Hermit-The-Prog]

39. ignore the terminology

You plainly state your intent; that's good enough.

If you focus on the terminology, manufacturers will work around it with new marketing and lobbying.

If you focus on the purpose (goal), then a law can be drafted to accomplish that goal regardless of changing terminology or marketing.

For example, you could say that no weapon capable of delivering deadly or injurious projectiles, or other deadly or injurious force, at a rate of more than 3 such deliveries per minute, may be sold to, owned by, or kept in possession of, citizens without law enforcement or military training, licensing and responsibility.

Let the battle then begin.
