Thoughts?Most of your top ten rifles on anybodies list are going to be bolt actions. Obviously there's some game that bolt actions aren't so great for. Chiefly anything fast, small, or dangerous.
We'd be banning squirrel guns like a 40 year old sears .22lr...but leaving a modern tactical bolt option open. OTOH, we'd hit most of the firearms used to commit crimes. Semi auto pistols, specifically. On my end, other than my 22 and a couple of shotties, I'm a bolt purist. I like to hit what I point at. If the compromise between gun ownership and gun regulation was such that I had to say bye bye to my 22, I'd probably drill the action and plug the barrel. Had the thing since I was little. Fair trade. I guess there's my savage autoloading 12.....but, I don't shoot that fucker to often. Rough on the shoulder, lol.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
