I think that sounds like a good argument that machine guns are essentially banned. Assuming 192 million guns (The NIJs number) that is 0.09 percent. More importantly, the census says that there are 302,552,362 in the US right now. That means that there is only 1 legal machine gun available for every 1657 citizens. That is a ban. I wish someone had the time, money and will to challenge that on Miller grounds.
Imagine if there were only 182,619 books that were legal to sell in America. Who would call that freedom of the press?
