Less than 4% of gun deaths are caused by rifles, and that includes bolt action, lever action, and the like. Most gun deaths are from the most common kind of handgun on the market (which are 9mm pistols these days) because they're easily concealable. Those crimes are also mostly committed by blacks which is another reason that no one wants to talk about it.
