The vast majority of those guns are shotguns, or .22 rifles and handguns. Very few of them are equivalent to the standard issue rifle of the federal Army.
But the real point is that if Congress can violate the Constitution "a little bit", with regards to machine guns, they can violate it a lot with respect to other arms. Or an executive branch can do so on it's own hook as in the case at hand, where they are attempted to regulate "parts" which the law, and their own regulations, define as "non guns". If they can do that, they "ban 'em all" and declare "turn them all in Mr. and Mrs. America" as one Senator declared she would do if she could get the votes.
They're not violating the Constitution with regards to machine guns, so you can stop right there.
"where they are attempted to regulate "parts" which the law, and their own regulations, define as "non guns".
Stewart wasn't about his sales of the .50 cal. kits. So what are you referring to?
"If they can do that, they "ban 'em all" and declare "turn them all in Mr. and Mrs. America"
They don't have the votes.
