Theres a reason why congress and senators are going to come after bolt actions specifically.

They're less of an issue than ARs.

Also, in a shooting war, ammo will become scarce, regardless of how much "stockpiling" americans have done.

Patriots will resort to bolt-actions because the damage per round is higher, and distance plus concealment are a good tradeoff versus the fully automatic weapons common to military and police departments.

They will come after bolt-action rifles because without them, hit and run tactics will be more expensive and have to be conducted in close quarters for smaller forces to be effective.

And in the process they'll follow with "well ARs are really like bolt-action sniper rifles too!"

And the rest will be history.

Bolt or semi-auto doesn't change the damage capabilities of the round fired they do not change range either. The type of ammo and way they are used changes those.

Thanks, what I should have wrote was "ammo efficiency."

One shot versus full auto.
