It's not semantics. When legislation is being written, it has to be very specific. If you can't even get the definition correct, how are you going to be expected to accurately write laws about it? It's even worse when the general population is pressuring their representatives to write laws on something they also know nothing about. There is a very clear distinction between semi-automatic and automatic. To say otherwise, you are absolutely clueless or intentionally being dishonest.
