This video is worth watching because it shows the sheer stupidity, if not outright deception, behind much of gun banning. A bolt action rifle looks like an AR 15 semi-auto rifle, which the authorities incorrectly and illiterately describe as “fully automatic,” so, it is banned. The gun has a legal action, but is banned because of cosmetic appearance. That is what we are up against.
