I was looking at this part:
"A semiautomatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine and has: (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a threaded barrel, (iii) a pistol grip (which includes ANYTHING that can serve as a grip, see below), (iv) a forward grip; or a barrel shroud."
And missed where it said a semi automatic rifle. My bad. However, most stuff would fall under the catch-all category as was pointed out to me:
"there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event."
Both the military and law enforcement use just about any type of hunting rifle for some purpose. It only takes one shot to bring down a deer dontcha know so all you need is a single shot bolt action, right?

The scary sounding “semi-automatic assault rifle” phrase is what they are counting on to get public support and to demonize those who want to keep them legal.
My BIL, at one point, in arguing for gun control, questioned “why would anyone need a semi-automatic”.
My reply was “please state your understanding of how a semi-automatic rifle practically functions” because I knew he was thinking “select fire”.
Instead of giving me the functional definition of select fire, he instead, honestly admitted that he had no idea what “semi-automatic” meant.

What do you mean by single shot bolt action? Most modern bolt actions carry anywhere from 3 to 5 rounds in an internal box magazine.
