<<The government's new legal position could entice the Supreme Court, which last ruled on the right to bear arms in 1939, to again weigh in on the issue. The court said then that the right to bear arms belongs to the "well regulated militia" referred to in the Second Amendment. In recent years, some justices, most notably Clarence Thomas, have suggested that the court re-examine whether individuals are covered.<<

1939? The issue was not even the 2nd - so it cannot be cited.

It was about a certain type of gun - and if it fit the milita criteria.

Such lying spin....
