Blowback is gas operatedBut wouldn't ban blowback AR's such as those in 9mm.
In the chamber, not the receiver. Details, details!
I guess next on his list will be Callahan Through Gage Full Bore Autolocks - You know the ones. They will only fire within an oxygen atmosphere.

Either way ends with dirty gases in the receiver. One just has less operations to get there. No? Straight back or via the carrier gas key? Doesn't that constitute gas operated? Or is there a term I am missing and some info I can learn?
Blowback gas works directly on the cartridge itself within the chamber, not the bolt in the receiver. The gas that actually escapes past the cartridge into the receiver is too weak to operate anything. Gas piston technically works on the piston head in the gas tube, not the receiver. Direct impingement works directly on the bolt in the receiver and is the most common type being discussed. Then of course there's roller locked, which is an animal of completely different stripes (pun intended).
All of them accomplish the same end result, but the way they get there is beyond the ability of mere politicians to effectively legislate. That is until they spend years focused on firearms design, which they'll never do.
I think this pretty much sums all the gun control stuff up.
Back when I was in Junior High, Bob Combs the Highway Patrol Fire Arm Expert when to Oklahoma Schools and showed all of the Zip Guns make at Big Mac.
