If you can afford the eventual loss should it come to that, then there's no reason not to live your life as you see fit for as long as you are possibly able to do so. If the $$ are a big deal to you that you absolutely cannot afford to lose? Perhaps you need to stick to manually-operated firearms for the time being. That, or find another, "safer" hobby altogether....
Nothing is safe, and there is little advantage to a NR mag-fed centerfire semi-automatic rifle if all such rifles are banned regardless of barrel length.
