I think you could ban a gun type that isn't popular or in common use by civilians.  You could ban machine guns, for example, because they are not in common use by civilians. 

Regulations of guns are Constitutional.  But, you could imagine a regulation being far-reaching enough to raise the same problems for the Supreme Court as the DC gun ban.  A regulation that made it effectively impossible for a law-abiding, normal citizen to get a gun would be unconstitutional under Heller I would say.
