I received this post from you by mistake. Did you mean to direct it to NY.SS-Bar9, the poster who originally brought it up in post #128?
"Suffice to say there is reasonable doubt as to whether Miller’s gun was “militia suitable” or not."
I agree. But that doesn't change the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court in Miller implied that only Militia-type arms were protected by the second amendment.
"Let’s focus on the Parker appeal here."
Ah. You mean the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court? The U.S. Supreme Court which may look at past rulings, like Miller, to make their decision? But Miller can't be mentioned in this thread?
What a maroon.
No, it was addressed to you specifically. You have a history on FR of derailing threads with that subject. Suffice to say that SCOTUS, in Miller, implied only militia-suitable arms are protected. Long arguments over whether sawed-offs meet that category have been had repeatedly without adequate conclusion; please, for purposes of this thread, accept that there is legitimate disagreement on the subject. If you seek resolution of that subject, please start another thread devoted to it.
