Ok - being optimistic about the outcome of Heller and taking the current fully auto laws into consideration. Seems like its a ban simply by way of price - namely no new fully auto rifles can be transferred (ie manufactured) forcing current SMG prices into the stratosphere.
Couldn't that be considered a de facto "ban" by virtue of affordability? If the 2A is held to be an indvidual right, how could you draw a line. I mean the thought that these weapons are too "dangerous" to be in circulation just seems thin, given that semi auto handguns/rifles are just moderately less dangerous.
It seems that under the "too dangerous for public safety" ban intent by Federal or State Gov'ts would then be pretty precarious. You'd pretty much just have to allow crossbows in circulation
