Um, unless you get an amendment to overrule an amendment, the amendments normally are absolute in USA.
The first problem with banning "assault weapons" is defining what that term means, as I believe one liberal law makers staff recently attempted in the last two years and basically they wanted anything black or camo or something that looked like it could be used in a war/law enforcement movie banned, while having absolutely no issues with guns with the same physical capabilities but didn't look like they would be used in war/law enforcement movies.
Basically they were judging guns as "assault weapons" or not based on how they looked instead of their capabilities.

@Viper Amendments are not "absolute" in any sense. As for the easy ones: the 1st, 4th (especially) 5th and 6th all have been recognized to have limitations.
The 4th (protection against unreasonable search and seizure) has been especially been carved out with many exceptions by the judiciary, which has proven to be popular among tough on crime politicians.
