That would be true whether it was a bat or a screwdriver,its how you use an object that makes it offencive or defencive,its the same crap they try to use here about so called "Assault Rifles" because there black and have those scary bayonet lugs,....If I attacked you with a hammer that was black would that make it an Assault Hammer? No the way it was used is what dictates what it is, and one last thing, even though you read about shootings here in the U.S.,its skewed to make it seem more frequent than it really is,compared to the amount of guns and people carrying them the number that are misused is quite small, I've been carrying a gun for thirty-one years and nobody even knows I have one on me,unless I want them to,and the mere presence of a gun stops many conflicts just by it's presence. Two last points, there are no accidents, just bad judgment,and poor handling skills,and unfortunately some use there gun as a set of balls that they weren't born with,and the second point is that the press NEVER,and I mean NEVER reports when an armed individual saves his or her own life BECAUSE they were armed.
