If a gun is sitting on the shelf without human interaction and never injured a person could it be called an assault weapon?
If a baseball bat is covered in blood next to a bludgeoned dead body could it be called an assault weapon?
Even though my rifles are only semi automatic, lever action, and bolt action they mostly just sit there if nobody touches them. Some of them even start collections of their own...mostly just dust though. They don't even seem to mind if I clean them and they have to start all over.
Huh what? Baseball bats don't hurt people!!! They're only used for sporting purposes!!!!!!!11
