    Would help if they wern't to bloody dumb to do some research before starting
    to bleat about stricter controls on law abiding gun owners.

    The dictionary defines a firearm as a gun.

    My CPO Gunnery Instructor outranks your bloody dictionary

    considerably

    I don't know who or what a CPO gunnery instructor is. I do know what a dictionary is. An individual's idea of definition does not outweigh a
    reputable dictionaries definition. Any dictionary you look up will
    define a firearm as a gun.

    This is my firearm, it's also my gun
    it makes a loud bang and that's lots of fun.

    I'd say that a rocket launcher is a firearm but not a gun.

    I could be wrong but would say that an airgun is a gun but not a firearm - if so then not all guns are firearms and not all firearms are guns!

    A gun being a larger weapon that you don't carry around on your person?

    Nope. Rocket launcher is a firearm and/or a gun.

    I could be wrong but would say that an airgun is a gun but not a firearm - if
    so then not all guns are firearms and not all firearms are guns!

    That's stretching things a bit. A grease gun is not a firearm either -
    but it's a gun. Same as a staple gun.

    Seems to me that all firearms are guns, but not all guns are firearms.

    105 howitzers and all artillery (including naval turreted weapons) are guns
    to the military and many others. Anything hand held is either pistol, rifle, machinegun or whatever. In uniform it's almost a hanging offence to call
    your rifle a gun. Any who do tend to get marched through the barracks with
    gun in one hand and rifle in other chanting "this is my rifle. This is my
    gun. This is for shooting, the others for fun." Rich claimed to have been in the military. If he wasn't lying for a change he'd have spent a lot of time doing this during his time with the military :)
