Yes, I think federal bans on any kind of weapon are unconstitutional.  However, as some have already pointed out, States have the power to do so.  It says powers not enumerated here shall be reserved for the States or the People.  That said, if I was Governor of a state and a ban was proposed, I'd vote against it.

The privileges or immunities clause extends the Second Amendment to the states.

Dude, your knowledge of the Constitution scares me (and I've read it three times!)  I guess I agree, I never know for sure Tongue I definitely oppose assault weapons bans.
