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.

I Shoot Indian Mynahs, but the problem is they learn very fast, and will fly off even if you pointed a stick at them. I now hide in the bushes and take them out, since i started my culling 4 years ago the population of Rosella's has tripled, its gone from seeing 3 or 4 Rosella's a week to seeing 10-15 a day! and its wonderful!
I completely agree full automatic military weapons should be banned, but i think banning semi automatics was a bit of an over kill. A semi auto would be a great help on my property for controlling rabbits, foxes and other feral's.
I cant imagine why any civilian would need a full automatic military rifle like the AR15??
