those points have been considered except they arent true .
For example
“Keeping and Bearing Arms is a Constitutionally guaranteed right, no less than freedom of the press or of speech. ”
It is less than free speech. Free speech doesn’t have an introductory clause as limiting it to “well regulated”
which brings us to
“For those who maintain that the 2nd Amendment doesn’t protect ownership of AR and AK style rifles:
In United States v Miller, ”
You have that exactly backwards.
Miller ruled that the 2nd amendment does NOT apply outside of a “well regulated milita”
“The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon.”
This was overruled in Heller. But Miller is the worst case to cite.
