Considering no assault rifles are legal anyway, I find your question to be moot.

Which is what we already have. For example, the AR15 is the civilian version of the M16/4, which removes the burst-fire mode.
For others like handguns, you can't really break it down further. What are you gonna do, make them muzzle loaders?

That's not my argument, which was that the proliferation of guns in the US wasn't caused by gun laws, but rather that it was due to the fact that it has always been an integral party of the nation since before its founding.

Guns break down, restrictions can be put on bullets.

Guns were built by hand before they were mass produced, bullets are also super easy to make. You're simply not gonna be able to regulate them away, it would require a conscious movement of society to move away from guns, which is how it should be anyway.
