There’s no classes of licenses like that in the US. If you are 18 and meet the minimal legal requirements, you can buy a long gun of any type in most states. (Some states are trying to move that age to 21.) That means a single shot, break action, lever action, bolt action, pump, or yes, semi-automatic. Once you hit 21, you can buy handguns. Again: that includes break action, revolvers, and normal semi-automatics.
The only real restriction in all of this is machine guns; to get those, you need to come up with the $20,000+ that a legal one will cost, and file a transfer application with the BATF, pay a $250 fee, and wait to see if your application is approved or denied. There are some states that prevent individual ownership of machine guns entirely.
They make semi-automatic rifles is how. Handguns aren’t the only self loading firearms out there, the tech has been around since like 1890 or so.
Semi auto, in case you’re confusing it with full auto, is “one pull of trigger, one bullet.” Basically “normal guns.” Full auto is “one pull of trigger, many bullets until stop holding trigger.” Like the military movies.
Question still stands: how the fuck did he get a semi-automatic gun if he wasn’t even able to get a handgun?
