And authorities can still pile on defined rules (like the rule that moving violations (traffic tickets) can disqualify you) until no one hasn't broken at least one.

Or they do as DC is and only allow one business to legally even transfer guns in and out, and only allowing people to buy guns after a permit process designed to be long and arduous.

I am sure the CATO institute can send their best lawyer to help the plaintiff tear apart the excessive requirement on the basis that it is exactly what you say it is, a work around the SCOTUS ruling, AKA a gun ban under a different system. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and looks like a duck any decent lawyer that has experience in the subject can tear apart what is essentially a de facto gun ban.

The DC situation might be taken care of by suing under anti-trust laws. As for permits...yeah you might be screwed there but that's not a ban, just weeks of waiting.
