[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7586834, member: 22779"] Funny how you are apparently the only person reading your own definition to come to that interpretation. If something isn't lethal, it cannot kill you. If something is lethal, it will kill you. That's what lethal means. A gun is lethal because, by and large, it will kill people. That's commonly what is meant. However, it isn't necessarily true that all guns are lethal to all targets. A .22 caliber pistol is unlikely to be lethal to a healthy adult human. Possible, but, unlikely. I would also point out that, depending on the country and your level of training, you certainly can be charged with assault with a deadly weapon when punching someone. Please don't confuse American laws with the rest of the world. Here in Japan, anyone with a black belt automatically gets charged with assault with a deadly weapon instead of common assault, for example. But, in any case, the rest of us have moved on from your attempt to force your own idiosyncratic definitions on the discussion. Perhaps you could come and join us in our conversation, rather than trying to rehash what's already been discussed? [/QUOTE]
