I hate people who lie about the Miller case and claim that it doesn’t protect the RKBA when in fact it expressly said that civilian ownership military style firearms were expressly protected by the 2A.

That, and Presser v. Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 being cited for the proposition that states have a green light to infringe the right to keep and bear arms, because the 2nd amendment only restrains the Feds.

It is undoubtedly true that all citizens capable of bearing arms constitute the reserved military force or reserve militia of the United States as well as of the states, and, in view of this prerogative of the general government, as well as of its general powers, the states cannot, even laying the [second amendment] out of view, prohibit the people from keeping and bearing arms, so as to deprive the United States of their rightful resource for maintaining the public security, and disable the people from performing their duty to the general government.

Oh, and the Miller case? Did you catch Scalia's "Miller was convicted, and SCOTUS upheld the conviction"? False. Miller's indictment was quashed, Miller was never even tried, let alone found guilty.

Second amendment law in this country is utterly and totally corrupt.
