The Miller decision in 1939, the last time the Supreme Court addressed the 2nd Amendment, said it was okay for the US to outlaw sawed-off shotguns, because they didn't have a demonstrable military use. Thus, under the 2nd Amendment, guns WITH a demonstrable military use are prefered, so that the People can remained armed to stronger degree than the government, in order to defend its freedom.
