Sure you can. Our education system did that a long time ago--skill and intellect. It's not fair to the slow children. Of course, that is another topic.
As far as "Sniper Rifle"... yeah, that could be an old M1892 Springfield (30-40 Krag) from the 1890s with the flip-up "tower" long range sights. Very accurate "sniper rifle" in the right hands.
It's a little suspect that they immediately labeled it a "high velocity rifle" round, as that would almost certainly penetrate standard police body armor.
Which evidently you don't know how to use. The question was directed toward you, since you stated in so many words that if it is law, it can't be unconstitutional. Thus I asked the question rhetorically so that you might research the question and not embarrass yourself by making such claims. But it seems you have gone ahead and embarrassed yourself anyway.
From your link: “We have a gunman out there targeting law enforcement but have no ID, no suspect description.”
God forbid that Americans be deprived of their right to pick off law enforcement officers whenever they want. God forbid that Americans be deprived of their right to slaughter 6 year-olds as they sit in their classrooms. God forbid that Americans be deprived of their right to kill scores of their fellow Americans at any and every public event from church services to music festivals to shopping at Walmart.
Let us all now get down on our knees and worship the NRA.

Cops kill more people in one year than all mass shootings in 10 years combined.
Your tax dollars have slaughtered thousands of 6 year-olds in numerous Middle Eastern countries since 1991.
The U.S. government has tens of thousands of guns and billions of rounds of ammo, all funded by you.
Not Real Activists Negotiating Rights Away is a gun control organization.

The point being that the SCOTUS is the ultimate arbiter of what is or isn't constitutional. Whatever they say is, is. Whatever they say isn't, isn't. Or, more accurately, it all is, until they say it isn't. Period.
Don't conflate right/wrong or good/bad with questions of constitutionality.
This isn't Schrödinger's cat - it's not both constitutional and unconstitutional at the same time.
