According to them, which I agree with the supreme court has ruled in the past that 2A protects firearms in "common" usage. Which is why they can't ban pistols. They are arguing that this new set of laws restricts a large number of firearms in "common" usage. Specifically I would say the AK47 and AR15 are perfect examples of this.
Shew v. Malloy is the case.

They may not be in common 'usage', but a lot of folks own them and enjoy shooting them at the range. Lawyers love laws that hinge on one or two words so I would think a lot of them will be watching this as it unfolds.
If the NRA has a case going I can see why the ACLU is not on this. Too many cooks spoil the broth, and there would be little expertise the ACLU could add to the NRA in this area.
