        Yes, technically weapons are tools, that’s because the definition of a tool is so broad, just a device used to carry out a particular task.

        That’s why I never said he was wrong to call a gun a tool, I said it was misleading, which it is. When a reasonable person thinks of a tool they do not think of a gun, you think of a wrench or a screwdriver or a swiss army knife, or something like that.

            Again, I’m not arguing a gun isn’t a tool. In fact, in the very comment you’re replying to I said they are.

            But all of this is besides the actual point, you derailed the point of gun culture and availability driving gun violence with an ultimately meaningless conversation about semantics.
