Reading through oral arguments, I was extremely disappointed that no second amendment argument was made at all. It was only brought up once, and that was essentially to say that they aren't making a 2nd Amendmeny claim.

Full auto weapons are definately covered by the Second Amendment. The Court, if they were honest, could not say otherwise. Miller was decided incorrectly because the government effectively lied to the court, and did not inform the court that sawed-off shotguns were used extensively during WWI.

The second amendment wasn't the only part of the bill of rights to be ignored. Companies destroyed millions of dollars in inventory after Trump reinterpreted the law to say they were felons for owning it. There was no compensation.

It wasn't the government's job to inform the court about the militia uses of short shotguns. It was Miller's and he was dead or missing so no one made that argument.
