Can an air rifle be classified as a firearm? There's no fire.

In the wonderful state of New Jersey, USA, an air rifle is indeed classified as a firearm. This means that in order to purchase one, you must have a firearms license, which involves fingerprinting, mental health and criminal background checks, and waiting a long time. An air pistol is even more paperwork and a longer wait time, as it is classified as a pistol.
