FTFY banning is such a harsh word and legally the .gov can not do it to firearms without a huge legal battle and/or cultural shift. However as the current court has shown us (ie. Affordable Health Care Act) taxing they can and will do.
No need to ban a firearm.
Just tax the firearm at the time of sale via a new special dangerous item tax. Plus impose a new yearly tax to maintain a certificate that you can handle the dangerous item. Also a tax on those "mini exploses" you and I call ammo. I think a $500 one time sale tax, a yearly $250 certificate tax per item and say a $1 ammo tax should work wonders to bring in more money as well as begin to "ban" (opps I mean tax) firearms. If those numbers are too low we can always increase them later you know.
Call it the "Bullet Guzzler" tax, like the Gas Guzzler tax. Then EPA fees on bullets due to the contamination of the environment. Hippies get to effectively ban some guns, raise taxes on those they don't like AND feel like the saved the Earth. A triple win....
Stop giving them ideas, actually..
