“Miller” is bull$hit.
‘Abscence of evidence’ was ‘absent’ simply bcause there was no arguement on the other side.
The blunderbuss (for One) had a LONG history in warfare from the very first instances of the FLINTLOCK!
The Miller case is okay. What's a crock is the way it has been applied, again, for the OPPOSITE of what it stands for. Courts get away with this, because not many people read the precedents and find out the courts rationale is bogus. That is, the courts lie about the law.
The SCOTUS remanded the case to the court below, with (coded in legalese) instructions to obtain evidence. If the evidence showed a sawed off shotgun had a militia use, or was useful for the common defense, then the dismissal of the charge was to be reinstated, and the 1934 NFA (tax on firearms) was to again be held an unconstitutional infringement of the RKBA.
