Which Supreme Court case leads you to believe the debate totters? Original gun "laws" were not laws, but taxes, and confiscatory ones at that. Miller was "shot down" in lower courts but was a one-sided case in the Supreme Court because Miller was dead and his co-defendant nowhere to be found. Sawed-off shotguns or shotguns with short barrels "were" military weapons, contrary to what the lawyers for the government said...they lied and the Justices believed them.

Just admit you value safety over freedom. That is where the debate really is and you certainly have a right to your opinion. However "rights" in the Bill of Rights can't be given away by you or any group, they aren't given, just protected, inherent, not granted.
