Banning assault rifles is not against the Constitution. Banning all guns, including all handguns, revolvers, pistols, etc. would be.
Assault rifles are already effectively banned, and have been since 1934. Even stricter regulations were placed on them in the '80s.
What people refer to as "assault rifles" or "assault weapons" in the context of the proposed bans are actually nothing more than modern sporting rifles, and are functionally identical to a variety of traditional hunting rifles.
No they won't. States pass ridiculously stupid laws all the time.
And people like yourself defend and endorse them.
