"If a gun’s operating system is essentially the same as that of a banned weapon, or if the gun has components that are interchangeable with those of a banned weapon, it’s a “copy” or “duplicate,” and it is illegal."
"If a gun's operating system is essentially the same as that of a banned weapon".....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't just about every semi-auto firearm operate "essentially the same"?
I read that as well and yes, it effectively bans every semi-auto rifle.
