I wonder how many people realize that banning "semi-automatic weapons", if taken at face value, pretty much means banning anything other than your old-fashioned, bolt-action rifle. For example, in the U.S. it would probably mean banning the small hunting rifle that I was given as a pre-teen over 40 years ago. That old rifle would fail both a "semi-automatic" restriction, and also a "large capacity" restriction, because it would hold an awful lot of ammo when fully loaded. Theoretically you could pump all of that ammo out in just a matter of seconds, too, although it did have a tendency to jam at times. Reloading it took a while, though.
