In today's political climate, it's hard to avoid discussing firearms without bringing up gun control and gun rights.

Or are they referring to the effect of one being used, which requires a person with violent or wreckless intent to create a dangerous situation?

anything is a weapon. if it was in fashion for people to stab people in the eye with pens, we would have anti pen lobbyists.
