Pure nonsense. There is no fire, so there is no firearm.

Slingshots will be next.

They'll can have my pea shooter when they pry it from my cold, dead lips.

Here in NY, slingshots with wrist braces are illegal. Of course, it is NY.

" . . . a firearm is "any gun from which a shot or a projectile is discharged by means of explosive, gas or compressed air."

It depends on how they defined it in the state laws. New Jersey also defines an air rifle as a firearm. A couple of other states classify air guns as firearms. I can't remember which ones did it. Safe guesses: Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Illinois.

New Jersey also illegalized sling shots, but it's a separate law.

Antlers, too. Dave Barry's headline for this story: When antlers are outlawed, only deer will have antlers
