"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997I find the editors comments pretty interesting, in the post just before yours 'Number crunching' Most of the proposed legislation they are talking about deals with Semi-Auto rifles, so a comparison of semi-auto rifles to say a hammer is valid. However, the editor some how managed to try skewing that direct analogy. [snip] the FBI data that states that all rifles, which would include hunting and semi-auto rifles, account for 323 murders a year. While 496 people are killed with hammers a year. Editor's note: For added perspective, 2011 FBI figures show firearms of all kinds were used in 8,583 murders; all other weapons and methods combined accounted for 4,081. [/snip] Even though the editor did not use a citation for their numbers, I found the FBI report. Expanded Homicide Data Table 8[^] interesting that they left vehicles of the list.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Maybe if you are going after elk or a bear. If an AR is good enough for people it should also be good enough for Bambi or smaller. Especially if I miss, then I've got 29 more chances. :)

It would more be a small inventory of small guns.

I'm not considering Oerlikon as small guns, but ok, it's not howitzers.

Bambi tends to have a gamey flavor, elk is much more like beef. Plus the scope and longer distance round helps because I'm too noisy to get close.
