Specific models should not be outlawed, and looks don't matter. A standard of how fast it fires, combined with whether it can use an extra magazine of ammunition, can be determined. The magazines can be outlawed too, along with bump stocks. Age limits for buying guns can be passed too. I think it's a question, therefore, of political decision, rather than difficulty in defining a "semi-automatic."

I disagree with the idea of banning model numbers.  These can be changed faster than a prohibitionist can pass laws.

And, of course, it is illegal to infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.  The inability to reach a supermajority makes the whole thing mute.

Certainly for now it looks daunting.

It's not illegal because all rights have limits.

Rights are limited in that they do not give any ability to harm others, nor violate the rights of others.  

I keep asking for other limitations, to no avail.  People say the constitution can be ignored, but never ever say when.  I think I am the only one who states the limits traditionally placed on the Bill of Rights.
