Not perfect, but better than today's rules.

More utter nonsense. None of those things describe conditions under the AWB. You could still buy a new AR-15 as long as it didn't have 2 or more evil looking features, like a bayonet mount or a folding stock.
You could still buy high capacity magazines holding 20 or 30 rounds, as long as they were manufactured before 1994. There were millions of them in circulation, a lot of them military surplus.
No AR-15 or similar weapon has or had a non-detachable magazine. That does describe a lot of .22 rifles and most shotguns.
Who makes this stuff up? You need to find a new staff of writers.
