You are missing the fact that others are as capable of reading the written word as you are.
You are also trying to apply your own definition of what constitutes a firearm (i.e. anything requiring a certificate) whereas you should be using the definitions in the relevant legislation, especially given the importance of your role in the legislative system.
Happy Shooting!! Paul.
