https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5087/textWhile it states clearly that it bans the sale of semi automatic rifles it also states semiautomatic pistol and shotgun information:
“(30) The term ‘semiautomatic pistol’ means any repeating pistol that—
“(A) utilizes a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round; and
“(B) requires a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge.
“(31) The term ‘semiautomatic shotgun’ means any repeating shotgun that—
“(A) utilizes a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round; and
“(B) requires a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge.”; and
After these lists of definitions it says this:
(D) A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
“(i) A threaded barrel.
“(ii) A second pistol grip.
“(iii) A barrel shroud.
“(iv) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.
“(v) A semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.
“(E) A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
“(F) A semiautomatic shotgun that has any one of the following:
“(i) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.
“(ii) A pistol grip.
“(iii) A fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 5 rounds.
“(iv) The ability to accept a detachable magazine.
“(v) A forward grip.
“(vi) A grenade launcher or rocket launcher.
“(G) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
The main sticking point is "detachable magazine". All semiauto pistols have detachable mags. It wouldn't be a pistol if it didn't. Otherwise it'd have a different type, probably something with a cylinder. You say maybe they can make new pistols with compliant magazines but it clearly says it bans all pistols with detachable magazines.
I advise you to search the bill. Search bolt action. It bans even some bolt action rifles. Pistols, shotguns, bolt action and semi auto rifles. It bans them from sale. Yet you want to tell me Democrats don't want to ban guns? If you support guns at all, why would you support them? With over 170 co-signers, it's illogical. The only option is to vote R.
Also, banning "high capacity" magazines is illogical considering many mass shooters, the Florida shooter included, just use 10 round mags anyways. It doesn't stop shit. Remember Columbine? One of the shooters used 10 capacity mags in a HiPoint. You know what he did? He brought thirteen of them. At Virginia Tech, the shooter carried 19 10 and 15 round mags, mostly 10's. The shooter fired 170 rounds from two pistols before killing himself.
So what does banning high capacity mags exactly accomplish? And why do Democrats want to ban them if the shooter does this shit anyways? Remember, they're criminals. They don't give a shit about laws and banning these magazines will not save lives. It'll just punish people who follow the law.

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article202486304.htmlI'm sorry but the bill does not inspire much confidence. Democrats should be riding a wave and get into gear. Instead they're putting forth bills that ban most guns that are in modern use. Blue wave? More like blue puddle. It's also funny how they've completely forgotten about the Dreamers in all this gun control nonsense proving how they truly see minorities: mere pawns. Democrats didn't do shit. Because they never do shit. You're just a vote to them, and if not that, a potential voter. This November?
