Semi auto high caliber rifle capable of holding a magazine over 10 rounds. Happy? Don't split hairs.

Actually, I'm not sure why I get sucked into these discussions time after time. Nothing will ever change without a constitutional amendment. The left needs to make its peace with that.

Semi auto with a folding stock, bayonet mount, or one of several other things that make it look ugly.

Any other gun is still plenty deadly that my point stands.
