@tofugolem@mastodon.social @zeri@chaos.social So you lied.Where? I did not say anything to the opposite.

And please do read it - the GOSAFE act definitely does not only cover rifles, but also pistols - even absent clerical error many pistols in common use. Arguably explain to me why gas operated pistols are any more dangerous than recoil operated ones? Both are semi auto after all. No difference.

Another thing of course is defining what "assault" means. It's definitely a hard problem, and covering every semi automatic rifle seems going too far, especially given semi auto is mainly a safety aspect for the shooter (if a bolt action blows up, typically the bolt is gonna fly in your face, a semi auto OTOH has other ways for hot gases to escape and generally blows up less catastrophically).
