Banning any guns at all violates the Second Amendment because it qualifies as infringing on the right to keep and bear arms. The amendment isn't just against full infringement. It opposes any infringement at all.
Oh come on, you must know how notoriously ambiguous the US constitution is.

It's perfectly acceptable to interpret that as just saying "you're not allowed to ban guns outright".

In particular there is complete ambiguity over what the word 'arms' means in the first place. As Darkmatters points out, there's no more telling if it includes SMGs than if it includes military hardware like missiles. The people who wrote it made no efforts to clarify this.

As a side note: can the US really be said to have a 'well regulated militia' in the first place..?
