This is pretty ingenious of them though. They don't mention assault rifle, AR15, etc. just use an obtuse description and hope they can pass it through without riling up opposition.
Melvin Johnson laughs from beyond the grave. (M1941, recoil operated) As do Herrn Heckler und Koch (G3, MP5 - roller delayed blowback). Oh, and a few Frenchies (FA-MAS, Kiraly lever-delayed blowback)

They specify those types of actions within the bill as well, the name of the bill is very misleading. Ian at Forgotten Weapons posted a short on YouTube talking about the bill, he rarely gets into political stuff on his channel, but it was a big enough deal that he wanted to put something out about it.
A quote from the above -
"However, what they actually do in the definitions of the bill is define 'gas-operated' as long stroke and short stroke pistons, direct impingement systems, but also all recoil operated and blowback-operated firearms. This bill isn't a gas-operated ban, it is an ALL semiautomatic firearms ban. The wording in the bill does not match the name of the bill at all. It's really deceptive."
Half the people voting for this probably look at the title, think it's about gasoline-operated firearms, and get excited to strike a blow against climate change.
How will this bill prevent the bad guys from using the kind of weapons this bill is trying to restrict? Only people I see affected are law abiding citizens...
It has never really been about stopping bad guys to them….they just use that as a smoke screen to add to their infamous "common sense gun laws" they are always spewing out. The bad guys are us…. The law abiding peasants they rule over and are scared of. Goal is to disarm. Anybody that does realize that by now is very naive. Remember the famous statement Diane Fienstine said: " If I could I would say Mr. and Mrs. America turn them all in. "
Foreign words to them…. Or as Hillary Clinton said….out of date…needs to be rewritten. Does not mean what we think it does. ( Her husband taught her well).
