Rifles and carbines used for defensive purposes and by the police fire mid-power cartridges and have barrel lengths generally 16 inches or shorter. They are also usually semi-automatic.
Sure they are law-abiding. I'm absolutely not denying that.
Now we should compare the number of times that someone uses his/her car, and someone is being killed/harmed, to the number of times someone used his gun, and someone was killed/harmed.

Harming/killing is the main purpose of a gun. What else is the purpose?
Do you use it to cook? Do you transport your stuff in it?

I can see guns being used as a sport, and then people are enjoying themselves.
Fine with me. Store the guns in the sports club in a safe room. No need for people to take their guns home.

Self protection with guns is a false thought.
What a silly kind of reasoning. "As long as it won't solve 100% of our problems, we won't look into it."
