Most single shot bolt action rifles are training rifles found a lot in .22 lr such as this Kimber model 82 you can buy from CMP:

Mostly I was just being facetious. I really don’t think that Obama is going after our guns right now. I can see an assault on our ammo such as high taxes and this current thing the Pentagon is doing by destroying military surplus brass. They can’t do away with CMP because it is now privately owned but this administration will be hostile to gun store owners, (think ATF) things like that.
That's the way it worked in 1775. "Taxation Without Representation" had been an issue for years. But the shooting didn't start until the Regulars were sent out to confiscate the arms of the people.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. - Thomas Jefferson

Actually, there's another name for what most Republicans have been lately (rhymes with wussies and 'meow' related). Sarah Palin excluded, of course!

According to Bill Ayers, they're willing to settle for 25 million for a "good start".
April 2010 will be too late.
Unless the RINOs do a 'reach across' in the spirit of "bipartisanship' and screw the people.
But they wouldn't do that. Right?
Be Ever vigilant!
Isn’t that list from 2007?
If he was wearing a hat I sold mine to the same guy.
The Law of Unintended Consequences is likely to spawn a brand new sporting event that could cause expansion of the endanger species list.
They try this and they'll discover if it's possible to be sorta dead.

I’m guessing that they won’t consider “tyrant and boot-licking lackey hunting” a “sporting use”.
Considering what you wrote, perhaps I was a bit hasty in my presumption. Or, maybe it all depends on who gets to define what the "sport" is.
Argh. “Seed” should have “See”...
Obama will seek these 4 elements in a gun bill
1. An expanded HR 45, gun owner licensing. All gun owners will have to have these licenses, even owners of facilimie weapons (AKA Airsoft and BB). Licenses will only be granted if the records of the applicant are clean (This includes misdemeanors from decades ago). Licensees will be required to hold $1 million in liability insurance. Possession of otherwise permitted weapons (See #3) without license is a felony.
2. Ammunition accountability... All ammo will be required to be microstamped and will be taxed $1/round. All non stamped ammo will be required to be turned in or thrown away. Possession of non-marked ammo is a felony. This part of the act also bans “Cop Killer” bullets.
3. Expanded “Assault Weapons” ban— This includes most all semiauto rifles, anything that can be “Bump Fired”, Semiauto handguns, and Semi-auto shotguns. It also includes pump-action shotguns and “Sniper Rifles” AKA your deer rifle. The AWB will also require people with “Prebans” to register their guns as Machine Guns, and that the tax stamp will go up to $10,000 per weapon, or turn it in without compensation...
4. Expansion of the Lautenbach amendment: Removes “Domestic Violence” as disqualifier to gun ownership, inserts any misdemeanor as disqualifer... Anyone with a misdemeanor on their record will be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes DUI and traffic offenses, and offenses decades ago.
Finally, this bill would rescind all valid CCW permits nationwide.
