"Had the Court denied Cert. based on lack of standing"

Mr. Miller did not bring this case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Attorney did.

Second, the U.S. Supreme Court case was whether the 1934 NFA violated the second amendment -- ie., if the tax stamp on the weapon was an infringement. At this point, Mr. Miller was irrelevent.

"IMHO, if you had a Miller-type case today with an M-16 or an M-4 at issue"

That's too easy. What if you had a Miller-type case today with a sawed-off shotgun with a 10" barrel?

What's up with Mel Gibson's shotgun?
And what's with the end of the barrel? Is that a fake? A movie prop?
