One would hope that no legitimate court anywhere in the free world would tolerate such blatant idiocy as to suggest a firearm that does not have a round inside the mechanism is "loaded".

Anti-conservative fanatics love to parse things to eradicate their genuine meaning and supplant it with their own preferred, Correct Thought.

Some may note I adjusted Clinton's words, since the verbatim quote used cringe-worthy sentence structure. Slick Willie's reply to the question was, "...what the meaning of 'is', is."

Desperate parsing didn't work for him (he was held accountable for perjury and lost his law license as a result of his statement) and God willing, it won't work for the ACFs in this case either.
