A government-issued rifle kept in the home, with sealed ammunition that is checked and can only be used in peacetime at a training event. A bit different from handguns that can be easily concealed while walking around the streets.
Two-thirds of the US's annual homicides (about 12k total at the moment) are committed with handguns. Homicides with longarms aren't trivial (total firearm is around three quarters, from memory), but they're a much smaller proportion than handgun murders.
