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.
