That is debatable at every level, as again, the Second Amendment is purposefully ambiguous and yet complicated. The exact legal definition of "arms" is determined by the Courts, as also specified by the Constitution. Further, lets be honest, the Constitution has many flaws and problems, for example slavery was initially enshrined through the 3/5 compromise and even after the 13th Amendment, it was legally preserved in the Jim Crow "vagrancy laws". So you can't just say, "Its the Second Amendment." That amendment is more complicated than that simplistic interpretation, and thankfully the Courts are Constitutionally framed to interpret the laws, NOT YOU

PARIS -- A gunman opened fire on colleagues at a Swiss wood-processing plant Wednesday morning, an attack that left three people dead, including the assailant, and seven others wounded.
The gunman walked into the staff canteen at the Kronoswiss wood-processing factory at Menznau, near Lucerne in central Switzerland, about 9 a.m. during a staff breakfast break and began shooting.
Police said the 42-year-old suspect, who was not named, had worked at the plant for a decade and did not fire at random but picked off specific colleagues with a handgun.
A spokesperson for Kronoswiss, which employs about 450 workers, said the gunman had always been “very calm” and “somebody you would not notice” during the time he worked for the company.
It wasn't immediately clear how the gunman died.
Gun ownership is widespread in Switzerland due to a long-standing tradition of allowing those who complete their compulsory military service to keep their rifles and weapons. Many serving in the military are reservists allowed to store weapons at home.
