a) learning to disarm someone is extremely effective. obviously if you're an effective gun-handler, this is also effective. I like that Japanese police officers fire very few bullets and still are successful in disarming armed criminals.

b) running is an easy out

You should give someone a Sharpie and wear a white shirt. Have them attack you with the Sharpie, pretending its a knife, and then look at all the black marks on your shirt after. You cant always run.

But its fine if you dont think so. I just believe that our gun laws are stupid.

For example: Shotguns with barrels under 18 have to be 26 long stock to muzzle. Shotguns with barrel of 18 are perfectly fine. So you could actually find a shotgun shorter than what is otherwise allowed, depending on the stock.

Semi-auto shotguns limited to five-round mags, where pump-action has no limit. Can you tell me the difference in a mall where nobody is armed that a pump-action would really make? You can get box mags for pump-actions to save time loading a tubular magazine. Meanwhile, semi-auto restricted handguns are limited to ten rounds, and are much more concealable.

The rules for ammo that apply to semi-auto shotguns also apply to semi-auto rifles. A rifle has to be 26 in length. Lever-action rifles have no ammo limit.

Theyre prohibiting guns because of the way they look, not based on functionality.

I asked in my PAL course if the lengths they chose (26) were arbitrary, and the answer was in other words Yes.
