All they need to do is add all semiautomatics to title 2 instead of banning by name or looks. Then the semiautos would need to be on the national registry or it's a Federal felony. Transfers would have to go through a Class 3 FFL with all the paperwork, transfer tax, and FBI approval. Also a CLEO sign off is required for transfers to individuals.

There are many Federal and local LEO who are willing to enforce this law currently, and adding semiautomatics would not change the basic nature of the law. Faced with the threat of losing their paychecks and pensions, I know how I would bet.

There are also many local LEO who enforce the handgun bans in Chicago, New York, etc. There are even more LEO who enforce laws that infringe the right to bear arms, so it's reasonable to think they would enforce an outright ban with the same enthusiasm and rationalization. After all, it would still be legal to own bolt action rifles and pump shotguns.
