11. Right to keep and bear arms; civil power supreme.
1. Every citizen has the right to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes.
Exactly. What we need first is a strong ruling giving us the power and backing to proceed with the other fights we choose.Here is the good thing... as soon as the individual right is established, then someone can try to register a new automatic weapon... get turned down... and sue the government. THAT is how the game is played.
Oral argument before the appellate court is a very refined art form. It is NOT a legislative debate, though it may appear to be. What seems like an invitation to "win more" for our side may in fact be a trick question or a trap. The key is to stay focused on what you need to win the case at bar. Getting sidetracked on other issues is unwise.
I wondered the same, as well.Gura had to have anticipated questions about licensing, automatic weapons, etc. I'm puzzled as to why he didn't better prepared to duck those questions rather than conceding them.
But when presented with the questions - he could either answer them or punt. He chose to have no ready answer and was speaking extemporaneously.He was not there to duck issues
And here I was all ready to drill out some sears and shoot at manatees from my car this afternoon.
Guess I'll have to wait until June.
I think Miller answered that: the right to any arm that would be carried in battle by a national guardsman. That includes automatic weapons. The NFA may be found constitutional, but the refusal to register new weapons will be found to be a de-facto ban, and is unconstitutional.

+1000 The fight won't end with this case but hopefully the proper groundwork will be laid for future cases.Here is the good thing... as soon as the individual right is established, then someone can try to register a new automatic weapon... get turned down... and sue the government.
