Thank you for your informative post. I didn't mean to infer that MY personal interpretation of the Second Amendment posits that it pertains exclusively to military arms. I was conveying - or at least trying to - the general thrust of Miller. One thing about Miller himself; I can't cite a source on this, but vis a vis the proverbial "somewhere," I read the man failed to appear in court because he died before the case came up.
Re: your take on
Miller: I had a feeling that you were just giving a summary interpretation. Obviously, you read and understood the case. BTW, take a look at the 5th Circuit's
Emerson decision of last year for a GREAT read on the 2nd Amendment and
Miller.
Re: Miller himself, I believe that he was freed after the appellate court decision, but I'm not sure that he died in the intervening time until the USSC case. I am pretty sure that the other guy charged with him died. In any case, it hardly matters, as the gov't lied to the Court and no one was there to refute the lies.
