      "assault rifles" have a well-understood definition: "a selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine." These are already illegal (except in very rare cases) due to being automatic.

      I haven't read Biden's plan, but judging from this thread, and from past legislation, the issue is "assault weapons" which is a made up term that no one can agree on.

      That's his plan. It's going to incite some serious rage from right wingers. We haven't seen anything yet from the far right. The backlash to Biden is going to be fucking massive and intense, and will make the Tea Party and Trump look like a complete joke.
