OK, can you brief me as to what it says, or do I have to read it? Thanks

It says nothing about the Second Amendment as conferring an individual vs. collective right. All it said, basically, is that without any evidence being presented that a sawed-off shotgun is a military weapon, the defendant could not rely on the second amendment to protect his right to possess said sawed-off shotgun.

Actually, if you take the Court's reasoning to its logical conclusion, it appears to state that rocket launchers and surface to air missles are protected, while sawed-off shotguns are not.
