Weird that a rifle is allowed since it could be considered an offensive weapon, but a hadgun which is purely a defensive short ranged weapon is not. I guess this is to appease the deer hunters.

About every 3 years, there's a push to outlaw rifles. It's kind of interesting because there's been so many armed crimes that, just within the past 4 years, there have been several drives (by cops, no less) to start carrying sidearms. I guess they were routinely facing AK-47's on the street, and at the height of the "crisis", losing an officer a month.

Policing by consent. Only in a British context (i.e. Redcoats, massed formations, take your bullet like a man, etc) could I even begin to fathom that concept.
