I'm curious what you all think about US Senator Martin Heinrich's GOSAFE Act in the US Senate (introduced in November of 2023). The full title is the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion Act (the GOSAFE Act).
The bill reads like so:
S.3369, the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion Act, or the GOSAFE Act, states "...it shall be unlawful for any person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, receive, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a firearm, device, or combination of parts..." related to gas-operated semi-automatics.

I have an article coming out next month in which the bill is more adequately summarized and I'm looking to collect some responses from current gun owners for follow-up articles in the future. You can find all my articles at <https://questanews.com/>, the January articles will be online next week.
From all the research I've been doing on firearms, all semi-automatics are technically "gas-operated" with the gas from ignition being used to recoil the slider and eject the spent casing. Senator Heinrich's bill lists exemptions for specific firearms but limits the ammunition capacity.
What do you think about the GOSAFE Act?
Is there any government regulation over guns that you would be in favor of?
