I think you can make a much stronger legal argument that pure hunting guns (and maybe even pure self-defense guns) are more bannable than militia style guns. There is significant overlap, to be sure. If a gun is good for a militia, it is often good for hunting, and vice versa. But the Founding Fathers weren't worried about hunting when they proposed the Bill of Rights.
One legal problem is that the 2nd Amendment is not about hunting.
