The 1939 case ruled that a sawed-off shotgun could be banned because it DOES NOT have a legitimate military use.
Under that logic, how could M16s and machine guns be banned? They DO have legitimate military uses...
Does the military issue handguns? Even according to the 1939 ruling, the DC ban is unconstitutional...
The actual ruling from 1939 has pretty much been cherry picked and bastardized since day one.
