If you are firing into a crowd it is. Each child in the CT shooting had at least 11 rounds hitting their bodies (according to the coroner's report). You are not going to be ablet o do that with a bolt action rifle. Most people that do shit like this are also not trained like you are, so to say that a bolt action rifle would cause more damage that someone with a Bushmaster is not entirely true. Can someone with little to no training shoot someone from a mile away? I don't think so.
