The fact that it was issued PER CURIAM is an emphatic slap at those who make the argument that the Second Amendment only applies to arms in use at the time of the ratification of the Bill of Rights; that the 2A does not apply to firearms owned in the millions in the U.S., that “dangerous” weapons means that regulators can ignore the 2A for any item that they deem “dangerous”, by fiat.

All these arguments have been put forward by lower courts and legislators to show that they do not need to abide by Heller.

It is now confirmed that these arguments are false.
