This may be splitting hairs, but in Miller I believe the court actually ruled that it didn't know if the gun in question had a military use, because no one was there to represent Miller's side of the case and present the relevant info.

Therefore, the SC remanded the case back to the lower court, thus enabling leftists everywhere to claim Miller as "their case", even though a careful reading clearly demonstrates that this is a pro-RKBA case.

You beat me to it (see my post #8). Cheers to someone else who can read the Miller decision.

And I expect it's safe to say that the feds are confidant that Miller's body will never be found.

You are correct, AFAIK... However the prosecution apparently also misrepresented and said that sawed-off shotguns were NOT in use as a military weapon (or maybe it was that specific one, not sure)... however, when I was in Vietnam, sawed-off shotguns and even a sawed-off M-14 were in common use as close-quarters weapons and I can but imagine how many were used in WWI in the trenches. It may not have been ISSUED, but a sawed-off 12ga would be PERFECT for that circumstance, just as it was 50 years later!
