It funny to think that the first court decision about guns control was a gangster that could not prove that his shotgun was for military purposes. Because of that he lost the case. Now you can't have a gun for military purposes, as per the second amendment. How in the world did that happen?

Actually, he never even showed up to argue his case in front of the Supreme Court. The Court said that they would not take notice of the fact that a shotgun hjad a military purpose in the absence of any evidence. Had he not fled, he might have won.
