Interesting discussion, I have great respected for firearms. Being ex Defence Force I am aware of the lethality of military and civilian weapons. It does not matter what caliber the rifle (I do not like the terminology “Gun”) is a .22 caliber rifle can kill equally as well as the 7.62mm SLR (the rifle used prior to the 5.56mm Steyr) in the right hands.
In away we are luck, and please think about this, that when we do have shooting the number of death are low probably due to the persons mental instability and the inability to use the weapon well. The most dangerous killer are the one who perorated the “Hoddle Street and Port Arthur Killings” these people knew how to handle their weapon of chose and handle them well.
I am for “Gun Laws” and rifle, shotguns etc should be kept in “Gun Clubs” and on “Farms” but not in the suburbs.
