You don't know until some state enacts a law that is deemed unconstitutional. According to the D.C. Circuit Court, a ban on registering more than one gun a month is unconstitutional, and you can't pass a law that renders a firearm inoperable in the home, so we know those are outside the boundary. End of the day, whether a state is going to have more stringent or less stringent gun control laws is up to the state. I live in Virginia, which has very reasonable gun control laws, as opposed to D.C. and Maryland right next door, which have very draconian gun control laws, and yet have more problems with gun violence than does Virginia. Perhaps that's an indication that the problem isn't the gun but who has the gun.
