I’m not so sure. I think he dropped the ball on Breyer’s question by bringing up the military briefs. I think that was the wrong answer.

I don’t know, he put national defense in the lap of the Justices with it.

Breyer asking if it would be unreasonable for a city with a high crime rate to ban handguns.

Scalia wonders if a conscientious objector who would not serve in the military or the militia has no right under the 2nd Amendment.

Gura responds with a notion that if the Solicitor General's view that if Congress has authority to regulate firearms is correct when the 2nd Amendment says essentially that 'Congress shall make no law' as it does in the first, then Congress could simply pass a bill saying 'No American is in the militia' and the 2nd Amendment is mooted.
