HankTN,
My "asinine" comment wasn't directed at you either. Some other poster had brought it up. I thought your original post regarding Miller was to clarify what somebody else had said about the case.
I have nothing against discussing SC decisions, however some, not you, have oversold them. Also, and more importantly, the original thread-starter's comments were directed towards original intent. And in that context, I'd establish a solid case for THAT before moving on to the Courts. And that's what brought me to this thread in the first place-- the incredibly feable attempt at discussing the 2A's original intent or meaning.
