@hightor,

The purchase of new assault-style weapons was outlawed 35 years ago. The limited number of used assault-style weapons from before the ban are expensive collectors items that most people cannot afford.
Bump stocks were outlawed a few years ago.
The only thing on your list that people have ready access to today are large magazines.

All Heller does is require the government to have a good reason to justify a gun restriction before it is allowed. Restrictions on the three items that you listed above can probably be justified, and so would likely pass muster under Heller.
However, progressives don't care about the three items that you listed. Progressives want to impose unjustifiable gun restrictions like outlawing pistol grips on semi-auto long guns.
The fact that progressives want to abolish freedom and civil liberties so they can impose
unjustifiable gun restrictions is an excellent reason for people to vote for Republicans.
