116. Not exactly, iirc Heller borrowed the standard set

In 1939 USA vs Miller of "in common use for lawful purposes"...a standard which has been used several times since Miller. This standard makes additional federal regulation on many types of weapons impossible because they are obviously in common use for lawful purposes...this would include hand guns and many of those referred to as "assault weapons"..

A federal magazine restriction won't pass either for the same reason imho....further, there wither has to be payment for the magazines (expensive) or grandfather them (ineffective).

In short, there are many many gun laws and restrictions on the 2nd amendment. We are at a place that most new restriction has already been asked and answered as not being constitutionally possible within the existing framework of case law.. there may be some tweaks left..i don't know what they are...
