Is there a decent chance that if in the worst-case scenario they introduce a semi auto ban (either in this bill or another), the Conservatives will actually keep to their word and repeal it next time they have a majority? Or are they the type that will talk like that but never actually do anything when the time comes?

They aren't going to introduce a semi auto ban. They admitted that the "reach was too broad" on the old amendments, so whatever they come out with next will be more limited in scope. Not even the original amendments were a full semi auto ban.

I know they won't do it in this bill, but I have a bad feeling they're going to try again in another.

Eventually, assuming an election doesn't take them down first. But I'd be shocked if they were too stupid to learn their lesson, and tried again with something just as bad.
