I'm not sure what you're trying to say exactly, but no assault rifles aren't banned or fully automatic guns. Assault rifles are just those that have a feature that the government deems to look scary like a pistol grip or a folding stock. Semi-automatic rifles, which is all you need, were legal the whole time.
Assault rifle is a technical term, and is define thus: magazine fed, air cooled, select fire (can switch between semi auto and full auto with a switch) rifle in intermediate caliber. "Assault weapon" is the term coined by hoplophobes that is designed for technically ignorant voters to demonize rifles that are functionally no different than the Remington Model 8 from 1904, but looks like the assault rifle the military uses.
Honestly, I can see magazine restrictions, presuming they are obeyed, as with any gun control, reducing casualties in mass shootings. Just simple math that if you have to reload more you are going to be able to shoot fewer people. That said a magazine is one of the simplest things in the world to construct. Seems like you could easily 3d print one, minus the spring.
The 2007 Virginia Tech shooter used 10 round magazines with his Glock, and brought a whole backpack full of them. It didn't slow him down in the least, 32 dead 17 wounded.
3d printed Glock magazines are already a thing, and they work just fine.
