    Is that supposed to be some kind of gotcha? How exactly does not owning gun or working on a farm negate the fact that a gun is a singular purpose tool?

      How does a gun being a singular purpose tool exclude it from being farm equipment? Do you think a thresher does anything else but thresh?

        A thresher is a labor saving tool, it replaces the physical labor of separating wheat from chaff. Without a thresher a farmer can still accomplish the task.

        A gun is made specifically and solely to move a projectile down range with lethal velocity. What labor is a gun saving?
