1. This latest ruling has changed things

We know that banning assault rifles works, because it has happened before, and the courts were fine with its constitutionality.

Key word is were. They aren't anymore. SCOTUS vacated rulings regarding Maryland's assault weapons ban and NJ and CA's large capacity magazine restrictions. If they were fine with those rulings, they could of let them stand. But they didn't. They vacated the rulings and ordered the lower courts to reevaluate them in light of the new review standard set in Bruen. The 9th circuit did the same with a challenge to CA assault weapons ban, they kicked the case back down to the district court to reevaluate using the new SCOTUS guidance.
