What are the reasons why fully automatic rifles are banned? Or granades? Or nuclear weapons if we go to the extreme. Reading that I can’t see where you can put a line a say “this is no bereable anymore”
So nukes, missiles, bombs, etc. aren’t bearable weapons, so they don’t qualify in that regard. Grenades are explosive destructive devices, so even though they’re bearable, they’re banned on the often forgotten side of ATF-E everyone forgets the “E”. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
Automatic rifles are a different deal. Regulated as a result of the old timey gang wars in 1934. I say “regulated” rather than banned because they aren’t banned. If you’re willing to jump through the paperwork hoops and pay the (REALLY HIGH!) fees, you CAN own a fully automatic weapon. Just expect to pay $30,000 or more to do it.

A few years later (1939), short barrelled shotguns were also regulated in a similar fashion

Of course NOW you can get a “Non NFA item” that’s effectively a short barrelled shotgun without being a shortbarrelled shotgun:
