"Semantics."

You mean the actual law, as written, and applied.

This isn't some dumb clip vs magazine pissing contest. This is the actual legal definition of an entire class of firearms. Shoving whatever is demanded into the definition renders the definition pointless and carries an enormous potential for abuse.

I'm all for effective, legal changes to how we deter, prevent, and respond to mass shootings. Unilaterally ignoring the actual, literal, current law is absolute nonsense.
