Original Note:
The 2008 "Heller case" and the 2022 "Bruen case" clarified that guns classified as "assault weapons" are protected by the Second Amendment due to their commonness. This legal perspective wasn't present in 1994, highlighting the evolution of views on gun rights over time. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-2/the-heller-decision-and-individual-right-to-firearms https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/new-york-state-rifle-pistol-association-inc-v-bruen/
