I ll start : I have been following a pretty known tech/Linux journalist, and always found he is a fun dude to listen to, with interesting tech takes

The fact that he is also very openly "american conservative" (aka, religious & weapon nut, anti abortion, etc) annoys me, but i keep those things separate. And he does keep it separate too (politics channel vs tech channel), which is a great decision.

Can't they just ban auto/semi-auto? Or if those aren't strict categories, define them, eg. "cannot shoot more than x bullets / second"? That one would likely be too broad but you get the idea.

Banning semi auto would ban like 90 percent of guns :/

I feel an urge to say "oh well" but that's my own bias shining through lol

Banning would piss off a lot of people. It'd be better to just place more restrictions on semi autos. Outright bans are very politically expensive.

Auto is banned. Everything is semi auto except bolt action rifles. All handguns are semi auto.
