Yeah, United States v. Miller (1939) stated that the Second Amendment only applied to weapons currently or formerly in use by a military power. The leftists still freak out about muh Mfowuhs and muh weaponz uf wahhhr. Hell, the Founders stated during the ratification of the Constitution that the Second Amendment covered "... swords and every terrible implement of the soldier..." and that the only people who could be legally disarmed were government employees. Still doesn't stop lefties from braying about guns.
The power of the sword, say the minority..., is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for the powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of Americans. - Tench Cox
I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials. -George Mason
