The argument that no one would buy something that just "looks like", say, an AR-15, is again defeated by the semi-auto AR-15 itself, as well as the M1A, both of which just "look like" the selective fire rifles they originally were. And by the large numbers of non-firing machineguns, semi-auto BAR's, .22 StG clones, etc.
In fact, I still own, and can fire, several semi-auto "modern sporting rifles", as well as high capacity magazines, since previous ownership was grandfathered. But unless the law is changed or declared unconstitutional (both unlikely), no future generations will be able to.
