Apaprently, you are not paying attention to the world around you.
Where I live we now cannot own certain scary looking firearms, and accessories even though we bought them legally. This is currently the law, but the courts may uphold the 4th ammendment. There's a chance they will NOT, and therefore the constitution is shredded a bit more.
Even if there's no outright BAN on something, they can find ways to make it useless. For example, they get around the 4th ammendment not by actually confiscating your V8, but instead by putting a $10K per year registration fee on any car with more than 4 cylinders.
This is effectively a de-facto "ban", without violating the 4th ammendment. Same result.
They're dumb, but they have learned over time how to circumvent the protections of our rights in the constitution.
