You're right, I suppose these are the kind of cases where objects or situations are misnamed.

Then why not say firearm, instead of weapon?

Do you support having a legal weapon to defend your family? 🤔🔫

I guess this comes into a philosophy of martial arts ... and I agree here we can use **"Jhon Wick"** who kill a man with a pencil ✏️ something that is totally possible. 

*But in a situation where they attack you with a firearm. It is quite complicated not to be able to return the fire. And on occasion it is until the difference between dying or living.*

Recently I saw a video of an old man, who tried to steal just when he parked his car in front of his house. He was a lord of more 70 but was totally awake, barely the delicates were violently lowered from a car that stood abruptly next to him ... The man unbridled and as if he were from the distant west. Pum Pum 🔫💥 He killed one and fright to the other two subjects in a flickering.
