I suppose. The SKS-M and SKS-D.
They seem remarkably not naughty by the standards of the proposed AWB, but without expounding too much, we all see why it would make so little sense to ban an AK47 variant and not the SKS-M.
Edit to add: not that the ban makes sense in the first place.

I agree, incredibly generous of DF

We need to literally "take the high road" on this one. Beat them with the facts and let them look like the foolish ones with their emotional rants. They have learned that the media will push their agenda regardless of any facts and we need to call them out on it at every opportunity. Maybe we can get a media accountability act started.

OK that's what I thought... so that means the M1A has none of the "evil" features.
Sorry, but review some bump fire videos, that is what you can do with a SA.

Ten minutes later on CNN...
"Talks within the bi-partisan group announcing the gun bill were driven to a halt today when an intern burst into the room, out of breath, realizing that they forgot to add the SKS assault rifle and the Springfield M1A and Fulton Armory M14 high-power machine rifles..."

Feinstein has been yammering away about "spray-firing from the hip" for years. Certainly she's been yammering about it for much longer than you could actually find videos of it on YouTube.
Bump-firing is a technique that is completely useless for anything other than turning money into noise.
Furthermore, there's not a single solitary instance that I'm aware of where anyone has bump-fired a rifle during the commission of a crime.
Just because a handful of yokels like to blaze away at a close-range berm once in awhile is not a valid reason to infringe on everyone else's civil rights.

I like the Beretta CX-4 up there.

Laconic humor at its best, right there.
I'm sure I could probably find a few movies where it's been done
You are right, though. If done safely into a berm, what's the big deal? Personally, I'd rather have someone who is intent on killing mass numbers of people using the least accurate method possible. Might actually save lives. She is trying to legislate marksmanship, which means she wants these people to be restricted to methods more likely to kill more people.

Do these people actually think that the common-criminal is going to care whether a gun is outlawed or not?
If four thugs break into a law-abiding citizen's home in the middle of the night, each with whatever they want for firepower, how is it that the homeowner has to be restricted to, say, 10 rounds?
Suppose there is a catastrophe and looters are all over the place, I would surely want a 30 round magazine in that scenario, just to save my life and the lives of my loved ones!
Funny thing is, in her younger days, she had a semi-auto pistol and permit she carried for protection. I guess she is more important than the average homeowner.

Anyone else notice the Hi-Point carbine being listed by name? Huh.
The pistol bit would ban all the Olympic-style repeating pistols, as they use a mag in front of the trigger.
"Semiauto version of a full auto pistol" would conceivably ban the Broomhandle Mauser and Glock 17.
All semiauto shotguns with 6+ round tube mags are out, plus all semiauto shotguns with detachable mags (so no Saiga 20 or 410, or that new MKA1919 AR-style shotgun)
I'm also curious about the "all semiauto beltfeds" bit. Would be interesting to hear why my semiauto 1919 should be illegal while my fullauto Vickers is fine.
To the best of my knowledge, there has ever been a crime committed with a semiauto beltfed...
Any idea when the list of exempted make/model guns will be published?
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this bill. They could have had a good chance of passing something incremental, but this thing is way too opportunistic to have a chance.
