Nope, semiautos are the problem now. In fact, [H.R. 5087](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5087/text) makes a special exception for retired police to own the weapons that it proposes the general public be banned from obtaining. 

For any current police officers reading this though, don't get too excited. I'm sure the left's narrative will shift back against you once it's politically convenient. 

So, we’re not blaming cops anymore?  Sorry, just keeping up with the narrative 

If you're ever bored just ask a liberal what semi-automatic means.

He had to get the word "automatic" into the headline or he'd be fired.

Notice the updated terminology the media's using. It's no longer just "an armed man". Semiautomatics specifically are the tools of the devil now.
