Here's an Interesting Viewpoint for Your Consideration:
===========================
United States v. Miller 1939.
Miller possessed a sawed-off shotgun banned under the National Firearms Act. He argued that he had a right to bear the weapon under the Second Amendment, but the Supreme Court ruled against him. Why? At the time, sawed-off shotguns were not being used in a military application, and the Supremes ruled that since they weren't, they were not protected.
Even though Miller lost that argument, the Miller case set the precedent that protected firearms have a military, and thus a legitimate and protected, Militia use. The military now uses shotguns regularly, but not very short, sawed-off shotguns. AR-15/AK-47 type weapons are now currently in use by the military. Therefore they are protected weapons for the Unorganized Militia, which includes just about every American citizen now that both age and sex discrimination are illegal. (The original Militia included men of age 17-45)
As a result of the Supreme Court decision in US v Miller, any firearm that is applicable to military use is clearly protected under Article II, and that includes all those nasty-looking semi-automatic black rifles, including full 30 round magazines.
