A Bushmaster used to ward off a criminal gang intent on robbery is being used for good. A Bushmaster used by a police officer to shoot a murderous gang member is being used for good.

A Bushmaster fired inadvertently by an untrained civlian into a crowd of people while trying to gun down an assassin is being used for good but doing a lot of harm.

Guns are not some magic talisman: to defend yourself in your home with a gun, you need training and strong nerves. To do so in public, you need training, experience, iron nerves and very sound judgement.

Not the sort of skills set that people acquire as easily as a gun permit.
