Where is that pit bull thread when I need it?

Well we can agree to disagree on that. I'm fine with that. My issue is when people call me stupid or retarded when the dictionary actually agrees with me.

The dictionary you chose to use. Others disagreed with you.

No. I never argued that anything that could possibly be used as a season, is a weapon. That's just distraction being thrown by the usual trolls.

I am saying if it was made for use as a weapon, then it's a weapon. Even if you don't ever plan on using it and only bought it so you could look cool, it's still a weapon.

In addition, if it wasn't made for use as a weapon, and you use it as such, then it became a weapon when you used it in that manner. For example, if you beat someone with a baseball bat, the bay was a weapon (even though that was not what it was made for). If you stab someone with a pencil, it became a weapon when you used it in that manner.

Question, why was this **** originally done to the dogs? What was the actual purpose?

And I am still amazed at how a helmet can be a weapon at times, but not at other times, in your view. Why would that be the case for a helmet, but not a gun or cropped ears?

Because as loggrad pointed out, some helmets were made specifically for use in battle. That would have to be considered a weapon. But a helmet made for biking, that is never used in battle, would obviously not be a weapon.

They pretty much all agreed with me. I know loggrad cherry picked from a legal dictionary, but even the regular dictionary on that same site had a similar definition to the one I posted. Merriam-Webster's website had a different definition, but the hard copy of a Merriam-Webster dictionary that I own had a similar definition to what I posted.

I posted links on that already. It was done to help prevent damage during a fight.

Gotcha. A weapon. Makes sense.

Another question. Have you procreated yet sir?

Does your dictionary of choice have a definition for weapon that indicates I am wrong?

Unless your in a battle to reach the finish line. The helmet allows you to ride fearlessly without being afraid of crashing and smashing your head. Then good sir, it becomes a weapon, correct? To vanquish your foes?

Then I guess it's a "weapon" in the same sense that a bike race is a "battle."

No, he asked if you've had children yet.
