I think a few select contract helicopter culling operators should be able to argue their case for ownership, but I still maintain... No one NEEDS them, and only military forces should (IMO) have access to them.

You really are the worst kind of gun owner. You don't like black scary guns, so you'll happily line up to push those who do under the legislative bus, as long as they promise not to touch your precious bolt action.

Every shot counted and I learned real quick that if I couldn't achieve a one shot kill (head), don't take the shot. So when it came time to get a more sporty rifle with a magazine, I bought a ten shot bolt action and learned to work the bolt quickly when needed for multiple animals. One day I took all five hares in a family bunch before the last made it to the safety of the scrub. So, as said above, if you're any good at shooting, you don't need a semi auto (shotguns for game birds excluded)

"Look guys, I like to compete in 100m sprints with anvils tied to my legs! It's obviously a severe handicap in this kind of event, but IMO if you don't do it, it means you are bad at sprinting! I don't see why anyone needs Nike running shoes!"

I was gonna type up a big wordy response with arguments and such but I'm tired so I decided I'd just tell you to fuck off, gas cut your fudd-stick in half and take up knitting.

Unless you also feel that wood is all you need for knitting needles, and no-one needs large alloy needles to knit a sweater?
