I don't think there will ever be a ban on assault style weapons in the US. if the statistics recently posted are accurate, there 1 AR style gun for every 20 people in the US.
I don't think that even an "Emmett Till" moment can do that now...maybe if done during Sandy Hook, it could have worked, but that moment is lost now and people have become even more desensitized and entrenched.
Maybe they could possibly get high capacity magazines banned to 10-15 rds? At worse 30 (which is still ridiculous imo)? No legitimate 2nd Amendment defense on high capacity magazines imo, but with Scotus stacked to the right, its unlikely they would make a ruling; most likely they would pass it back to each state.
