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.
