Hand gun were never intended for long range shooting. They were designed limit range, that is where police usually needs them. Rifle on other hand which is more lethal, because it increases the shooting range, can as far as 2 miles but the killing range is around 1.5 miles. If one shoots powerful rifle aimless in place like NYC or LI, the chance if it hitting somebody is high. If somebody comes in my house, I rather use either Handgun or shotgun. Don't want use rifle because I know it will hit my neighbor and I don't want that to happen.
When you have gun, you have to think of its limitation and knowing how to handle it properly. Only idiots will shoot in the air in city or where there is too many people around. That idiot will be 100% responsible for death if the stray bullet hits somebody.
It's not just the increased range and accuracy. A rifle round will transfer much more energy into it's target. Therefore typically much more lethal.
