Reply #22: The Supreme Court drew a line in the Miller case in 1939

[AZ Criminal JD]

That was the last time they spoke on the subject. They said weapons that were not reasonably associated with a militia would not be allowed (in that case a sawed off shotgun). Weapons that are associated with a militia would probably include almost all handguns and shotguns, and rifles that are on the market. By the way the militia is not the national guard. The national guard did not exist when the 2nd amendment was ratified. In most states the state constitution says that all those 18 and older are members if they are state residents. So you are probably a member of your state's militia whether you like it or not.
