Bruen wins again.
Now waiting for the courts to apply this to the so-called law in Oregon that requires $$ for a permit to buy a gun, and for limits on the magazine size that a gun might have. Clearly there was no limit to the "size of the magazine" in 1791! And setting aside the observation that no gun back then had a self-contained magazine, I would argue that the Revolutionary began when the British troops tried to "limit" (read, seize) the magazine, powder and all contents of the colonists' arms stored at Concord, Mass.

Just had another thought on this.
I wonder whether the flintlock action used in 1791 pistols was the same (or maybe essentially so) as the ones that could be turned into a musket/long rifle. I think at least some of them must have shot the same size lead ball as the musket. Same powder. Same flint. Same striking action. Doesn't have to be ALL of them, but at least SOME of them...?
See where this might lead under Bruen?
