Bows in Simi Valley, CA considered firearms? Weird local law, or BS myth?

Hello,
Currently I own a compound bow as a resident in Arizona, but my work may soon require me to have a short stint of work (less than 60 days) in Simi Valley. Given the more restrictive laws regarding firearms, I intend to keep all of them at my residency in AZ, but I wish to at least bring my compound bow with me.
However, upon checking on Simi Valley laws, I noticed some threads purporting that a compound bow is considered a firearm in the locality.
And indeed, when looking at Bassproshop's policy, they indeed refuse to sell bows or archery accessories to Simi Valley residents.
Is this something I need to worry about? Is Bassproshop just pulling it out of their behinds, or is this an actual thing? I can't find any official site mentioning city ordinance that actually mentions the legality of bows in Simi Valley.

Ah yes, punish the criminals by... taking it out on the law-abiding, legally-owning citizens. I'm sure that'll work well.
At least it seems even a substantial part of the left don't agree on this policy. When one of the most left-leaning political forums on the internet are collectively against this, you know it's a bridge too far. San Jose to tax gun owners, will confiscate firearms for noncompliance : politics (reddit.com).

Which is why I wouldn't ship a sharp stick to California. Their stupid laws change every fifteen minutes and I refuse to waste my time trying to keep up with them. I feel bad for the decent folks living there but there are planes and trains and automobiles leaving every day.
