From the artical it sounds like he fired more than 10 shoots. Like I said an sks can be easily modified to take a 30 shotter. I remember the first time I saw an SKS in a gun store, it was like $120, and the guy told me it was easy to get a big banana on there.
You know about guns, how much time does it take to fire 10 rounds with a bolt action vs a semi-auto? Big difference there. If he had a bolt action I am sure more people would have escaped.
I AM NOT saying all semi auto rifles should be banned, but IMHO, hunters who hunt with them are wimps.
