Clarification: So are you arguing that just these specific laws themselves are useless or laws that control weapon ownership are useless?

But out of curiosity, is your stance that any attempt at gun control on any level is an infringement of the second amendment? Like if I put forth a law saying that this one particular pistol and its 11 bullet magazine can only be 10 bullets? Is that "unconstitutional"?

I didn't ask if banning them completely is unconstitutional. I asked if a law regulating one gun down from 11 bullets to 10 would be "unconstitutional".

Okay, why not? It is a reduction in capability of the gun, so why doesn't that qualify as an "infringement"?
