I have absolutely zero problem with a person owning a bolt action rifle.
Not only are they more accurate than semi automatics, but it takes a lot longer than 30 seconds to throw 30 rounds downrange. If we had only bolt action rifles, mass shootings would be a thing of the past.
I wouldn't go that far, if all semi-autos were banned, the crazies would switch to pump-action shot-guns.

Wrong...
Cumbria....Britain......13 dead, pump action shotgun and bolt action rifle...it is the gun free zone target that allows for the killing, not the gun.

You sure Charles Whitman shot and killed 16 people and wounded 31 others using primarly a bolt action rifle someone who knows how to shoot can be just as deadly with a bolt action rifle as anyone with an AR-15 or similar type rifle.
Okay, so according to you guys, if semi automatic rifles are banned, the crazies are just gonna shift to pump action shotguns and lever action rifles? Well, considering that shotguns have a much shorter range than rifles, as well as the fact that they don't carry that many rounds, you might still have a few people killed, but the body count would be much less than if it was an AR-15 with a 30 round mag.
As far as using a lever action rifle? Again, they don't hold nearly as many rounds, and while a person who practices quite a bit with one MIGHT become proficient enough to do a mass shooting, your average person wouldn't. To get good enough to throw a lot of rounds down range in a short amount of time requires a lot of practice. Yes..................I've seen some of the YouTube videos showing professionals who are very good at what they do, but I can assure you.......they didn't just pick up the weapon and start throwing high amounts of lead down range. There was a lot of practice that came first.
Pump action shotguns.....would kill just as many people, they would simply change targets ......
And we don't base our Rights on wether or not a few people will abuse them.....11 people committed mass public shootings in 2017, 117 people were killed....rifles were used to kill 403 people in total that year.......there are close to 600 million guns in private hands..... close to 8 million AR-15 rifles........cars kill 38,000 people in 2017, yet you don't call for a ban on those...
Knives kill more people each and every year than all rifles do, not just AR-15 rifles....why won't you ban those?
Expanded Homicide Data Table 8
Rifles...still kill fewer people each year than knives... 403
Knives.....1,591
Hands and feet......696
Clubs.....467
You have no logic to back your call for banning these rifles and magazines.....you make no sense.
