Its a bit of a slippery slope this one and probably the wrong thread for it, yes I understand your reasoning that nobody NEEDS one, but why should that mean that they should not be allowed to own one if they want to?
I personally am not a fan of semi auto or military rifles and do not own one nor do I have any desire to purely as they are not of interest to me, even for gamebird shooting I use a side by side and an under/over, but each to his own, why should my personal preference restrict others owning something that they are interested in?
Its a bit like saying we should govern all motor vehicles to 100km/h because that is as fast as they need to go. So what then if I want to take my superbike to a track and do 300km/h? Because its not everyone's idea of fun should we all be controlled by this?
