Yes, if I said “hand me the scissors” it would just be one tool with two blades. I could also say “hand me a pair of scissors” to mean the same thing. Kind of like how “pair of pants” or “pair of glasses” mean just one of those items. For reference, I am from the US. Not sure if you meant English as the country or as the language. Either way, those usages are nonsense and I will happily keep using them.
Since you handle things with a “danger site” pointed to yourself and not to the opponent, it’s the human giving the gun to the raccoon.
Think about how you would give someone a knife or a scissor.
I can’t imagine the racoon is following gun safety protocols. But I see your point
If you dont trust the raccoon why would you give them the gun
Something to do with second amendment
Why would you give somebody a scissor? Are you making them fight for the other half?
Scissor and scissors are interchangeable and mean the same thing. I agree that dropping the plural hurts my brain a little though
Wait, it’s “scissors” for just one? Those crazy English people, again.
