Both of the firearms in question, btw, are semi autos. There was no assault rifle in this equation. One set of regs could conceivably apply to both, whereas assault rifle regs would apply to neither, and “assault-style” regs would not apply to the hand gun, though they’re equally lethal for the exact same reason in these scenarios.
This probably confuses some people.
You are using terminology as technically correct as possible - and that probably doesn't sit well with those folks that think "scary black rifle" = assault rifle.
