41. No. Ban removable magazines. On all types of guns.

A lever action, or pump action, is just as fast firing as a semiautomatic. There's a couple of models of pump action ARs already, and one or two detachable magazine leverguns, so ban semiautos and that market will absolutely take off.

Ban all removable magazines over 5 rounds, be they for semiauto, lever, pump, bolt, single-shot, whatever - if the ammo goes in a separate, easily swappable container, make it illegal.
