Nice of you to edit the wording and provisions that are protected. “Commonly in use” fire arms are protected. Which puts AR15’s squarely in the protected catsgory.

Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.

I do not agree with Scalia on this, and I am vehemently opposed to any kind of AR-15 ban at any level. Elsewhere in Heller, Scalia states that some level of regulation is still allowed. My point is, Heller is not an airtight protection of 2nd Amendment rights the way some think it is. We have to remain vigilant.
