So you're telling me that someone with a single shot bolt action rifle can do as much damage as an AR-15.
Trained rifleman late 19th century using such a rifle (Martini-Henry Rifle for instance) could fire around 10-20 rounds per minute on a good day. A bushmaster in the hands of someone with minimal training is anywhere from 45 to 120 rounds per minute. BTW that chart I noted previously showed that even though Canadian firearms laws became increasingly more restrictive, the homicide rate by other means remained relatively stable or even declined.
