    I mean a cook needs a knife to fillet a steak, that is clear,

    What rural area business really needs a gun? People have been living rurally without problems without them.

    I think it’s an insurance policy for fear, most of the time. But one that doesn’t work because now you contract a fear for fellow humans with guns.

      Pest control, genius. Rabbits, hares, magpies, possums, goats and more. One cousin is a commercial goat culler.

      They’re not used for self defence.

        All those were managed well before the invention of the gun.

        Your cousin might need one, but that guy from no county for old men weilded a culler that needed no gun.

        But it’s mainly the self defense angle witch angers me. If you need a tool for killing stuff, a gun is your thing.

        Butt most people don’t need to kill stuff.
