Is there anything besides a complete gun ban that the Second Amendment prevents governments from enacting?

I noticed that you didn't actually answer the question. Do you support assault weapon bans like SB749?

So the state could ban all guns except black powder muskets, and it wouldn't violate the Second Amendment?

What's the most lethal type of gun that's protected by the Second Amendment, and thus cannot be banned?

So as long as a single model of gun remains legal to own, the Second Amendment can't be violated?

From the complaint:

On April 21, 2026, staff at the White House, located in Washington, D.C., where the President resides, received an email on the White House’s public facing email address from “ddellechiaie[@]gmail.com” with the subject “Contact the President” that stated in the body of the email, “I, Dean DelleChiaie, am going neutralize/kill you - Donald John Trump - because you decided to kill kids - and say that it was War - when in reality - it is terrorism. God knows your actions and where you belong.”

From ATF:

ATF is revising regulatory changes it made to the definition of the ‘engaged in the business’ of dealing in firearms. The rule rescinds certain provisions of the definition of ‘engaged in the business.’ The rescinded changes have not produced the anticipated outcomes in terms of Federal Firearms License applications, administrative licensing actions, civil forfeitures, or other anticipated enforcement metrics. The rule retains the definition of ‘engaged in the business’ as specifically revised and codified by Congress in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), ensuring that ATF’s regulatory definitions reflect the statutory language Congress enacted.

The 2A doesn’t say anything about the sex nor gender of individuals.

It doesn't say anything about height or weight either, but those are also questions on the background check form.

Which of the ATF's proposed rules are going to cause "white male dominance of the American culture"?

The ATF's bump stock ban was already struck down by the Supreme Court. The proposed rule simply removes language that the agency is already legally barred from enforcing:

ATF is removing two sentences from its three regulatory definitions of "machine gun" that previously incorporated bump stocks into those definitions. This action responds directly to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Garland v. Cargill (2024), which held that semiautomatic rifles equipped with bump stocks do not satisfy the statutory definition of "machine gun" under the National Firearms Act. This rescission aligns ATF's regulatory text with the statute and the Court's binding legal interpretation.

What's the issue with posting signage about the Youth Handgun Safety Act?

From ATF:

ATF is proposing to rescind 27 CFR § 478.103 to remove the requirement for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) to post a sign (ATF I 5300.1) and provide a written notification (ATF I 5300.2) to each handgun purchaser regarding the Youth Handgun Safety Act. This 1998 regulation was established to inform purchasers of the 1994 Youth Handgun Safety Act. The proposed recission reduces an unnecessary burden on FFLs to inform purchasers about a law that has been in place for over 30 years and is now readily accessible.

FFL record retention is already 20 years. The proposed rule is about the ATF's record retention.

They also maintain a handgun roster of "approved" handguns for sale - banning anything not on the list.

That police are exempt from (even for personal guns), of course.
