Banding heavy machine guns yet another invention after the constitution was written didn’t, so there’s clear present this wouldn’t either.

What makes you believe that grenades are banned in US? They are heavily taxed, yes - $200 per grenade - but they aren't banned on the federal level, and there are people who legally own such things.
