That case was Muscarello v. United States and concerned the language of 18 USC section 924(c)(1) -- a person who "uses or carries a firearm" -- and had nothing to do with the second amendment -- a right "to keep and bear arms". One has nothing to do with the other.

It was a "positive" ruling by Ginsberg as regards to the language of the BoR and its scope. She could hardly go back on such language since they quote her directly in the Parker/Heller decision.

It'd mean she either lied then, or would be lying now...
