Memes. As always doing more harm than good.

I would say that it is not quite true. A self loader (aka Semi-automatic) either with an internal clip fed magazine like the M1 Garand or a small detachable box like the Browning BAR (not the military weapon - en.wikipedia.org ) do have appropriate places in hunting and range sports. These are both very different from the proverbial “black rifles” and I do think that if you try to spread any legislation too widely you will get push back from the Democrats that live in hunting country. One of the special elections up here that was won by a Democrat was a woman known as a keen hunter.
