I doubt if Bill has ever read that 1939 Miller vs U.S. decision, since it is very clear that the Supremes considered every able-bodied male to be a part of the militia - therefore rendering Mr. Lockyear's argument moot.

Right O. The case hinged on whether a sawed-off shotgun was an appropriate 'militia' weapon. They ruled not.

Intesting today that many police departments and Special Forces have found uses for shotguns with -18" barrels.
