People are always going to mistakenly call semi-autos machine guns and others will always argue single actions can be fired just as fast. People will always be able to punch out pins in magazines or fabricate them to carrying high round capacities. Maybe what they need to do is tax bullets and gun powder and make them incredibly difficult to acquire.
None of these are options though. Right-wing politicians and talking heads and justices are just going distract the voting populace with some other bogeyman issue every time and each shooting will be forgotten after the last. Even if they don't fade into collective memory, they will turn into political mudslinging or crazy conspiracies like Sandy Hook where all the victims are either forgotten or slandered into being false flag fake actors.
