US vs Miller has always seemed a very poorly decided case to me. I've gone over most of my constitutional objections but also on a practical level a sawed off shotgun can be in some contexts a useful military weapon (even if it would be unlikely to ever be the main weapon of any military force) and if you follow the reasoning of US vs Miller then people should have a legal right to own fully automatic rifles and perhaps machine guns while single shot 22 pistols would probably be unprotected.
