Tell me you're just making a bad joke. I mean, you cannot possibly be that stupid, can you?
In the context in which the word was used, the word "arms" indicates "weapons". That has NEVER been questioned.
Yes, you have to take word meanings in context. That is how the English language works.
Upon further reflection, I have decided you are simply too stupid for rational discourse. This earns you a place on my ignore list, right next to crisis (and for much the same reasons).
Do note that my use of the word "stupid" is not intended as an insult but rather as an observation. You have been given the tools and information to correct your ignorance, yet insist upon ignoring them.
