“Call this a govment! A man can’t get his rights in a govment like this. Sometimes I’ve a mighty notion to just leave the country for good and all. Yes, and I told ‘em so. Lots of ‘em heard me, and can tell what I said. Says I, for two cents I’d leave the blamed country and never come a-near it agin. Them’s the very words. Oh, yes, this is a wonderful govment, wonderful.”

Dan, it seems like things haven’t changed much in this country with the gun issue since Mark Twain wrote these words from Pap in “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” But then, the above could be a preamble for most any complaint the Tea Party and their perpetually contrary associates have about having to share this country with anyone else.

I’d be happy to help you get on the NRA enemy list, but I’m too busy trying to get on it myself!

Don’t know. But it seems the part they DO understand is as it applies to in common use for lawful purpose of a nature to support efficient militia.

Man!

Which part of the phrase “shall not be infringed” does the Supreme Court not understand?!

Miller case indeed upheld a restriction. The same ones in place since 1935 that have been upheld in every case since. The consistent reference is “in common use at the time” and even military in nature causing a militia to be efficient. It also relates to lawful common purpose. An RPG is not common or otherwise useful in common lawful purpose.

So, yes, I recognize the nature of the 2A limits in the SCOTUS opinions. I also see their opinions supporting common arms of the time. The limits are applied to unusual weapons not in common use for lawful purposes.
