“And SCOTUS ruled exactly that, in US vs. Miller.
Then how do you reconcile the 1934 National Firearm Act with the SCOTUS Miller decision?”

The Court clearly moved away from Miller. You don’t have to reconcile it.

Besides, there is no conflict. Miller said a firearm must be particularly useful in a militia setting and decided a sawed off shotgun wasn’t ... so the rulings are the same.

62 By noting that the reason Miller lost was because the court didn’t think a sawed-off shotgun was useful for national defense.

... then what about the M1918 and M1928A1 ...
