    No one except liberals attempts to classify individual arms based on some inconsistent and dubious concepts of “magnitude of lethality” that is related to the prowess of a user wielding such a weapon.

      Literally every single government on this planet classifies and restricts weapons based on potential of danger/lethality.

      Anything from knife types/blade lengths to gun caliber is regulated everywhere. The same applies to chemicals with which explosives/poisons can be manufactured. You can’t order them in any country without filling out forms.

      It’s literally the most basic type of risk assessment possible and by far the most effective way to reduce harm.
