The taking of semi-automatics was a knee jerk reaction the our Port Arthur masacre in Tasmania. Didn't make much difference to the murder rate the professionals, still use their traditional methods but the rank and file just resorted to knives. It's certainly true that guns don't kill - people do.
The only thing I agree with is that using a rifle to kill is a cowardly act because it keeps the assailant remote from the victim. Makes you understand why some police lose the plot and take the law into their own hands.
