Just to put a little more spin on this thread, if you read the Supreme Court's Miller decision, "weapons" are much more constitutionally protected than other types of guns (assuming that some guns are not really weapons.) Be careful what points you concede. The "sporting use" clause in GCA'68 is a trap.
