It takes more than being semiautomatic for a firearm to be banned under the assault weapon bans we saw at the federal level and currently have in states like California and New York. In addition to being semiautomatic and having a detachable magazine/fixed magazine of a certain capacity, it needs to have some combination of banned cosmetic or ergonomic features like a pistol grip, an adjustable or foldable stock, or a flash hider. After assault weapon bans, most of the market goes to "featureless" firearms that are still semiautomatic but lack enough banned features to remain legal.
