Misleading headline - the firearms sold weren't full auto
Ya, good catch. The firearms in question were manufactured as full auto, but have been converted into semi automatic. That's not enough to make them legal, I guess.
Because it's likely trivial to convert them back to fully auto, whereas doing so to a weapon that was never intended to be fully auto is likely more difficult.

Yeah but that would be illegal so no one would do that right
The headline is accurate. The bots summary is misleading. Full auto versions were accidentally sold as semi-auto. Two different versions of the same firearm.
Full auto versions were not sold. The firearms in question were converted to semi auto
Bots summary?
And the summary and headline basically say the same thing. You have to go a few paragraphs in to understand what they really mean.
The Tavor X95 MSW (Military Surplus) is a restricted variant that is full auto unlike the Tavor X95.
As manufactured, sure. But these were converted to semi auto
