Total BULL! Miller said no such thing. Miller said (paraphrasing) that short-barreled shotguns were not commonly used by the military, hence were not weapons protected by the 2nd Amendment. It certainly did not maintain that the RKBA is a collective right.

Actually, even that's not right. The court merely allowed the government to bring Miller/Layton to trial to determine, among other things, whether a shotgun was a militarily-useful weapon. Even though Layton was still alive, the government decided to plea bargain for time served rather than go to court to prove its case. Is there any other case where the government, after "winning", has offered a plea-bargain for time served?

I don't see the disagreement.
