fwiw, you NEED to go READ "Miller". "militia weapons" (weapons of a type & style which are "suitable to defend self, home, state & nation") ARE protected.

otoh, "crudely sawed-off shotguns" are NOT "militia weapons" but rather are "criminal instrumentalities", which are NOT protected by the Constitution.

therefore, the LEFT can kiss an "assault weapons ban" (and MAYBE the "NFA", too ===> "Honey, i want a 1907 Maxim with all the trimmings for Christmas. Can you get one for me???" = rotfLOL!) "bye-bye".

And NY is a classic for that example.

They legislated against handguns under the "not a military/militia weapon" idea. Then they put the "Assault Weapon (sic)" legislation in place.
