It sounds like what this guy is trying to say is that semi-autos are not military weapons and should not be called "assault weapons", and that's an important distinction to be made in the press. I think most of us would agree on that part.
Unfortunately, he is wrong, semi-autos were the target of the AW ban, by people who purposely misled people into thinking that the ban affected military weapons. And now that's what he supports. Basically the 1934 restrictions (taxation actually) on full-autos, not the Feinstein Law.
There are many people in our government, and our media, that need to experience "running for their life".
