Thank you. Sounds to me like the assault weapon ban had more to do with cosmetics rather than functionality.
An “assault rifle” is a battle rifle used in the military. It is capable of being a full auto machine gun, select fire of 3 rounds per trigger pull, or semi-automatic one pull one round like many shot guns. Libtards have hijacked that description to demonize what most handguns have that capability in the AR15.
Look at the Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifle, it is a semi-auto .223 that operates like the Bushmaster but looks like a normal rifle. If you want to shoot a wolf on the move after your sheep you’d want at least a semi-auto to hit it on the move.
