This was a very interesting decision. On one hand, it could have been much, much worse if FDR's nasty brief was accepted. I'm trying to remember where I read it (may have been through Westlaw).
On the other, I wonder what would have happened if Miller's attorney showed up there?
What's most interesting to me on this is that it was 9-0 despite a normally very split SCOTUS in that period. I think this decision could have been much more favorable if Miller's counsel showed up, despite this being a rather nasty test case.

I forgot to mention that this was a remand case, and the trial court decision was never made as there no longer was a case. Miller was dead.

There's a pretty complete collection of Miller documents at the Bardwell NFAlist website. Here's the link: Compilation of U.S. v. Miller documents by Patrick L. Aultice
The Government's brief is included.
The same collection is mirrored at Gun Law News , and RKBA.org
among other sites. ( I'm not sure who had it first, but I found it on the NFA site first.)
