Why is it "loaded"? Is there no precise definition of that term? > It's built on the premise that authorities should approve and track firearm ownership Assuming the definition would be "A gun without serial numbers, that cannot be easily tracked", as Wiktionary tells me, I don't see how that supposed premise is connected to it. To my knowledge, historically, weapons manufacturers marked their products regardless of the involvement of the authorities.
