Miller was flawed. His attorney never even got to testify, and short-barrelled shotguns do have “militia” uses. It ignores the fact that the militia clause was subordinate and thus does not change the overall meaning.

It does, however, provide a superb precedent for arguing that the ban on so-called “Assault Weapons” was unconstitutional.

I’m proud to say I’m friends with Kevin Marshall, one of the authors of that DOJ document. One smart fellow.

perhaps you should change the title.

JD is short for Juris Doctorate ie: a law degree.

DOJ or USDOJ is the acronym for the Department of Justice. Not a biggie, but for us lawyers out there, it makes the subject line make more sense.

One needs Alice in Wonderland jurisprudence to rationalize the militia only argument. I interpret that to mean that democrats must wear their underwear on the outside.
