Firearms are specifically defined, see
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/firearm.html.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms regulates the import and export
of firearms and ammunition which are not classifiable as "Defense Articles"
(i.e., excluded from the U.S. Munitions List, see definition at
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/us_munitions_list.html).  See GISTnet
text on BATF coverage of export requirements for firearms and ammo
at http://www.gistnet.com/sub/text/56:k861.html.

Have a safe and happy holiday!
