But they want to label our hunting rifle as 'assault rifle'
"No one needs ten bullets to kill a deer."
When '10 deer' attack, you need more. LOL
You need to upgrade your libspeak dictionary. Semi-automatic rifles are, 'assault rifles.' Bolt actions, or single shots with a scope are 'sniper rifles'.
Not sure what erminology they'll use to go after lever guns yet, but "military style carbine" or, "guns designed for cowboys" are safe bets.
Bolt action with a Scope? That's a sniper rifle and those are next.
