The problem is that semi automatics are in common use, so Congress changing language in the NFA to include it would be struck down. As to the court ruling anything not an MG is protected, that wouldn't come up in the Brown case because the court focuses on the question, which in this case is MG related, so the ruling is going to be either, yes it can be regulated/banned or not and if it's not then MG's are good to go and the court is never going to do that.

So, the court is just kicking the issue. They are waiting for a snoozer of a 2A case that has little impact on anything to virtue signal. At this rate, I don't think the court is ever going to grant cert to Snope or OST, not until Roberts or Barrett are off the bench which won't be for another 10-15 years.
