It's a bolt action rifle. I don't have problems with bolt action rifles since they are very slow to reload and are therefore less of a threat to the public. This particular rifle is a .50 cal weapon, which means it is also extremely heavy and cumbersome. Semi-automatic weapons are the real threat to the public.
