> I'd like to ban all automatic, select-fire or semi-automatic firearms

You're looking to ban at least 75% of all guns in the US. It might even be more like 80-90%, but I'm too lazy to look for a source. How do you intend to accomplish that?

I don't care; I'm just avoiding the terminological confusion around "assault weapon" and all the noise it generates.
