I'm sure multi shot rifles could also help in the "selective" killing of wild dogs/cats etc ( esp if yr aim isnt too good :-) ).
The fact that some nutters usage of them has resulted in pretty much blanket bans seems illogical to me, when death by motor vehicle, tobacco, alcohol etc still wipes out more people than guns ever did.
I guess its like anything. If there is no real revenue loss to the Govt, they will ban things, but not if it involves loss of money.
That said, I fully agree assault rifles etc should be banned.

It has nothing to do with Greenies or those annoying Indian Mynahs
There
are controls on the use of Alcohol, driving, driving and alcohol
and tobacco use and deaths from each have dropped significantly as a result, even more may well be worth it too and this is all the US is finally
trying to do ie add controls to the access and use of some fire arms by some people
in order to start the ball rolling to reduce the alarming gun death toll...I mean, is it reeeeally that hard for some people to grasp
