How is a gun a 'tool'?

[Napoléon]

Wow.

So I'm supposed to have the ability to predict the future now? Nice use of logic there.

You didn't take my post into context, forgetting to address the second sentence. I'm guessing you don't read any of his posts afterall, as he's posted the same thing before. Which is what I pointed out, guess it just went over your head.

In any case, a nail gun is not the kind of gun we're talking about here. If we were, then Ryantology's initial complaint is even more absurd, given that nail guns are one of the things he would consider to be a "tool", since they can be used in both repair and construction.

I think you're being pretty facetious. My understanding of Ryantology's OP was that he's pointing out the trivialisation that occurs when people compare firearms with other tools.

I think a comparison between the gun A Theist posted, and normal power tools, is a perfect example of this.

The point isn't really about what you define as a tool. The point is describing a gun as though it's on the same level as a drill is incredibly misleading.
