Relevant contents

In remote parts of the Southern Highlands, wild pigs, cassowaries, and other game are shot for food and adornment. Yet in the present study, which covered high-population rural areas, no person interviewed gave hunting as a tertiary, let alone a primary, reason for gun ownership.

Without exception, informants made it clear that they acquired high-powered firearms for the sole purpose of intimidating, injuring, or killing human beings (Alpers, 2004).
