And yet in the thirties didn’t the court outlaw
sawed off shotguns as NOT being weapons of war
despite being used in the trenches?
Sounds like a perfect time to bring a case in MD demanding legalization of short shotguns.
As pointed out in the quote included in Post #26, the Supreme Court in Miller made no decision regarding the short-barreled shotgun and, in fact, remanded the case back to the District Court for future proceedings. Unfortunately, neither of the parties, Miller nor Layton, was available to pursue the case.
The clear implication was that, if the shotgun was useful to a Militia, then its possession by Miller would have been protected by the Second Amendment. This is totally opposite to this terrible decision.
