a mostly defensive weapon?

Maybe this should be retitled to "firearms" or "projectile weapons" given the first line: "A gun is a weapon which fires a bullet, dart or other projectile." I didn't know bows and trebuchets were guns! [[User:Barikada|Barikada]] 22:07, 15 January 2008 (EST)

:a mostly defensive weapon
I don't think we can characterize the weapon itself. Being a material thing, it is neutral.
It has both offensive and defensive uses. Murdering someone for revenge or robbery ... showing it to an assailant to '''stop''' him from murdering or robbing you. It all depends on how you choose to use it. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 07:54, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
