I can see the harm, wounded animals because they cannot be handled as accurately as a rifle. Sure pistols are accurate but that all turns to shit in the heat of the moment. My rifle can shoot sub MOA but buggered if i can do that on goats. I guess maybe the law sees firearms in hunting as a tool, in which case in virtually every situation the role can be filled more safely and effectively with a rifle.
It doesn't come down to ignorance and fear, it comes down to how easy they are to conceal and how deadly they are.
It's easy to say it is a control thing wanted by the the enforcement officers and law makers when you are not the one who is having to deal with it when things go wrong.
Not trying to have a go, I just think it's important to look at it from the other side to.
Personally I would consider a rifle far more deadly if used for nefarious purposes. But Ï'm talking about a B endorsed shooter using their gun for hunting. Just cuz you may not have sufficent skill to use on for hunting, doesn't mean everbody else is the same.
