Democrats Planning To Ban Semiautomatic Weapons In Common Use

The Democrats are nothing if not persistent. Despite the recent Bruen ruling where the Supreme Court struck down the 1911 Sullivan Act that made it so difficult for ordinary New Yorkers to carry a gun for self defense, D. Parker at the American Thinker says that Yep, it's true. They're coming for your guns.
If you wondered why the nation's socialist news cabal American Pravda suddenly decided to drop the terms "assault weapon" and "assault rifle" from their propaganda lexicon, your answer was soon forthcoming in their triumphant announcement of their next onslaught against your sensible civil rights: "Democrats push for 1st semi-automatic gun ban in 20 years."
In a tyrannical two-for-one special, not only have the enemies of liberty of the fascist far left admitted that the whole point of this was to ban weapons in common use, but they're also tacitly defying the United States Supreme Court ruling District of Columbia v. Heller.

Most damning is this exchange between Dan Bishop (R) and chairman of the Judiciary Committee Jerry Nadler (D) in a congressional committee meeting during the markup of the bill on July 20, 2022:
Bishop: Is there anyone on the other side that would dispute that this bill would ban weapons that are in common use in the United States today?
Nadler: Yeah, that's the point of the bill.
Now, frankly, I don't expect this to go anywhere, at least at this time. I suspect this is designed to rile up the base, and force Republicans to go on record as being in favor of everybody having those evil assault weapons. But what do I know. If they win back the House and Senate, they are likely to push this all the way to the finish line. And if something should happen to one of the textualist and origial Justices who are currently voting to uphold the Constitution...
