Only when they are used as such.  Till then they most certainly are
not.  A baseball bat can be used as an offensive weapon.  A very
deadly one.  Must they be registered and inspected too?

The first step to recovery is knowing you have a problem.


God grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the
good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
