minus-squareLrdThndr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-24 months ago“Firearm” is a legal definition. It’s not that they’re considered something else, it’s just that they don’t fit the legal definition of a “firearm”. Don’t look at me. Look at the ATF and their weird-ass arbitrary rules and definitions.
