Well done Mr Johnston! That's because the miller decision came 69 years before the heller decision.
You did very well in that post, up to then. I am so proud of you!
Here's where you went wrong mr Johnston. Now don't get upset, we all make mistakes now & then:
johnston: Heller cited the writings of the Founders, didn't say shit about the English BoR, which said only Protestants may have arms. It was still an individual right.
Writing for the majority, Antonin Scalia {in heller decision} argued that the operative clause of the amendment, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, codifies an individual right derived from English common law and codified in the English Bill of Rights (1689).
