I’m pretty sure the meaning isn’t that you aren’t allowed to turn an ordinary item into a weapon. It’s that you can weaponize ordinary items. If you make a pipe bomb, for example, it’s pretty obviously a bomb now, and not an ordinary pipe. Basically, making it so people have to fear using ordinary items is what we typically call terrorism.
I don’t like that word, because it’s usually just used as a weapon against less conventional forces by states with more power, meanwhile the states typically still use fear to enforce a political agenda. In this case it’s unarguably the bad kind of terrorism, and they should be held responsible for it.
Uhm, drones? Hello?
A drone made for warfare is not the same as a dji 3 or whatever. Now if you put a bomb in that dji and sold it to people…
They literally use DJIs in Ukraine…
They don’t put bombs in them and then sell them to Russians
Not to mention the tens of thousands of rockets Hamas made from water pipes, lamp posts, etc.

Are those rockets sold as a water pipe to Israel?
No, they’re indiscriminately fired on civilian populations.
