    The only way this is possible is by rewriting the Constitution. FDR was the last president willing to, and that definitely didn’t happen.

    Biden doesn’t have Constitution rewriting level support.

      Eh, the constitution is already ignored on this point plenty, since there’s lots of ‘arms’ that have been restricted. Why not ignore it some more?

      Right, like the amendment against full-auto guns.

      Oh wait.

      I think the answer is closer to treating them similarly to automatic weapons. They are not banned completely, they are simply regulated with strict access controls.

      We don’t have school shootings with automatic weapons, do we? (Note the Vegas bump stock skirted this ban specifically)
