When was the last time both parents and 3 siblings were shot dead in their house by a 50 without anyone hearing a peep?

So really we all know it isn't for public safety or anything logical except for political grandstanding.

Yup. i think that the rifle that is used the most in offences is the good old ruger 10/22. Only probably cos its the most common.
