That's like saying hacking language. OMGWTFBBQ He can use assembly! Its a hacking language. Hacker this, hacker that. Its all about making something sound scary. All guns are scary. Guess what? All humans are scary too. Especially full grown adult males. And you know what equalizes weaker humans with these scary full grown adult males? Firearms.

Do you support privatized consumer-owned nuclear weapons?
What about tear gas and grenades? Automatic RPG's?
You're arguing in black and white and our world doesn't work like that. Subtlety is what makes law. Me? I'd prefer most guns were illegal. You'd prefer we all could own subatomic weapons (it seems, since you're basically implying any discussion on "level of strength" is moot).
It's not hacking language. It's subtlety. Once you throw that out the window you can't have a conversation.
