Assuming you mean so called "assault weapons", youre talking about the most popular center fire rifles in America.
I'm sure nobody would be upset with that and retaliate at the polls.
"like semi-automatic handguns"
Pretty much every hand gun functions like a semi-automatic, other than a few single shot handguns.
So youre talking about the bulk of all handguns in America.
I'm sure nobody would be upset with that and retaliate at the polls.
"like shotguns capable of chambering more than three rounds"
That would be the bulk of all shotguns in America.
I'm sure nobody would be upset with that and retaliate at the polls.

I'm sure nobody would be upset with that and retaliate at the polls.

Lets say for just a minute, that by some miracle (and yeah it would take the stars aligning, AND a miracle on top of it for your wish to come true) you get your wish, and laws that cover the firearms you specified were enacted.
