Biden isn't talking about anything that is Constitutional, never mind remote feasible.
Republicans and Democrats agreed bump-stocks are a technology covered under the spirit of the National Firearms Act so they passed a law to include bump-stocks as a modification which turns a semi-auto rifle into a full-auto rifle; therefore banned. That is a centrist proposal and it passed because it was centrist and almost everyone agreed something should be done about it.
By the way, the vast majority of gun deaths are caused by pistols which the Heller decision made explicitly clear government cannot deprive people of (unless felon).
You don't know that it is unconstitutional. There are literally thousands upon thousands of gun laws on the books both federally and in the states and cities.
And the fact is that the assault-type weapons with fast fire and very large magazines are the "go to" for a great many mass murderers because of their ability to kill people quickly.
And if it is pistols that are the problem, there could be laws that would help in that regard too. Except any attempt to bring ANY gun sanity law into being is totally opposed by the NRA, whose slogan should actually be "any gun, anywhere, any time".
