This is crap, per the SCOTUS’ Heller decision that everyone champions, even the NRA.
“Blanket ban?” Hogwash! It’s clear the NRA is pro-gun industry and anti-Constitution. MOO
To be pro-Heller, by definition, is to be pro-regulation, per the 2008 Supreme Court decision. To claim otherwise is ill informed, if not baldly hypocritical, IMO. (And the SCOTUS’ O.)
It’s spelled out: States have a right to “impose conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”

From the District of Columbia vs Heller decision:
“Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited.
“It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues.
“The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
“Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. (Pp. 54–56.)”
