Even the liberal 'fact checkers' admit that H.R. 5717 would ban the possession of so-called assault rifles.

Short answer: No
It would never get past the senate and president.
And even if it did, it would never get past the Scotus.
The house is the weakest of the bunch for a reason. It’s where pretty much anybody can get in. Exhibit one: AOC
You have not noticed the shift from assault weapons to weapons of war? Yes a mosin nagant is a weapon of war.
So how would they enforce something so unconstitutional seeing as there are more than one gun per resident of the country and most of the trained gun owners are skilled veterans?
If they ever get a permanent ban on “assault rifles” they will be back for their original target, HANDGUNS.
The DEMOCRAT lies we have been told over the years...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on GMA screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, they made a grab for the rifles, and missed, but played their hand.
1988,Josh Sugarmann, of the National Council to Ban Handguns tells how to ban rifles.
“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over
fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons
—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine
gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on
these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
Gun owners now know that any time we negotiate with those who want to ban guns, we are up against a stacked deck.
Let’s. It would be a big, “So what?” The worst thing that could happen to the Rats is they might actually succeed. None of them actually wants that.
So on January 30, the tipping point for COVID19 legislation, Democrats were ... trying to ban guns.
Well, considering the bulk of the bill addresses the section entitled “TITLE V—ASSAULT WEAPONS AND FIREARMS SILENCERS AND MUFFLERS BAN”, yes.

There is a grandfathering exemption. They know better than to actually criminalize what’s already owned. The goal is attrition.
Pass whatever laws you like......I will NOT comply.
When the assault on the Second Amendment reaches a tipping point, and I believe it will eventually, I wonder if a Governor of a state with a patriotic majority might formally declare a well regulated militia consisting of all vote eligible citizens with clean backgrounds. Restrictions on firearm ownership would seem to be moot in that case. Just musing...
How would DemocRats feel if journalists had to obtain a federal license to write articles and then receive permission from the government EVERY time they wanted to publish something?
There is no place in the USA where an assemblage of 218 imbeciles willing to vote for the stupidest, most un-Constitutional garbage imaginable can be collected -- other than the Democrat side of the US House of Representatives. Cases in point:
In a word, YES!
A. (FACT CHECKED) No, they would not.
Come and take them.
Democrats are simply a group of horrible people.

NO, fact, any Bill has to pass both houses and signed by the President in order to become Law. This is DOA in Senate and by Trump.
