This is ominous. The "question" as formulated represents a poison-pill which can be used as a pretext to destroy the Second Amendment. You're exactly right. I am very much afraid that we gun rights advocates will live to regret the day that this case came before the high court. Just one strike and you're out in this game.

Unless you live in the 5th Circuit or the DC Circuit's jurisdiction, this case can do little to harm you.
As things stand today, you cannot successfully mount a 2A challenge to a gun control law, because the Court will just point to Miller and say you're not in a militia, and that's all it takes today to dismiss your claim. Oh, and they might fine you for bringing a frivolous claim which has been rejected time and again.
If we lose, you will not be able to successfully mount a 2A challenge to a gun control law, because the Court will just point to Heller and say you're not in a militia, and that's all it takes today to dismiss your claim.

See how we really have nothing to lose and everything to gain?
