H.R.2038 bans ALL semi-autos with detachable mags?

I just took a closer look at this bill, and, as if it couldn't be any more ridiculous, it seems it classifies ALL semi-automatics that accept detachable magazines as assault weapons.
Not only does the bill ban rifles with "barrel shrouds", but, look at how they define "pistol grip":
quote:
`(42) PISTOL GRIP- The term `pistol grip' means a grip, a thumbhole stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip.
Apparently as long as anything on the rifle "functions as a grip", regardless of whether or not it actually has a pistol grip, it's an assault weapon, and banned. S.1431 defines "pistol grip" the same way.
