However, your information is still erroneous.
It is sequitur to presume the following sentence referred back to the subject of the first sentence, rather than the semi-auto clause.
I repeat, his wording was sloppy & ambiguous, and most people would agree with my interpretation, not yours.

Let's look at an analogous sentence, shall we?
ORIGINAL:
"The AR-15 is functionally no different from any other semi-automatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine. There are literally 10s of millions of this kind of rifle, owned by, again, literally 10s of millions of law-abiding citizens,.."
ANALOGUE:
The Pinto was typical of the small cars that were rushed into production following the oil embargo of 1973. This kind of car delivered good gas mileage but often suffered from poor design and inadequate performance.
So you would conclude that "this kind of car" refers only to the Pinto, not to the whole class of "small cars that were rushed into production following the oil embargo"? I think "most people" would disagree with you.

It is illegal to convert any semi auto firearm into full auto. The law is there.
