Actually according to US vs Miller in order for a firearm to be protected by the 2nd it must have a militarily useful purpose.

I think they are ALL protected, but I get the gist of your point.

Excellent point! Makes you wonder why the ATF "regulates" short barreled shotguns, no? Remington makes model 870 shotguns w/ an 11" barrel and sells them as NFA items.

That was an idiotic ruling and travesty of justice which has since been overturned, or partially so. They even got it wrong by their own standards, considering the sort of shotguns outlawed by the law under scrutiny were used in WWI.

By the way, what the heck isn’t a useful weapon of war? That could be anything from nukes to Molotov cocktails to rocks.
