Assuming you mean weapons meant to be carried and fired by one person, and not crew-served howitzers or the guns mounted on a battleship, to the best of my knowledge, the federal government has never placed an outright ban on any type of gun in it's originally manufactured form. You can't make a short-barreled shotgun by cutting a long one down to less than 18 inches, convert an autoloading firearm to fully automatic, or manufacture a pistol from a rifle action, but if you find a properly registered Game-Getter or Tommy Gun, you can buy it if (a very big IF) you can qualify for the proper license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
