BW, I don't disagree with you. My main point was the SCOTUS decision in US v Miller. Like it or not, it is the law of the land (equal footing with Constitution).
I think in past years (please correct me if I'm wrong) most 2A advocate organizations (e.g. NRA) typically took the "protect the sportsman" mentality. I agree that it is expensive, too expensive for an individual, to fight all the way to Supreme Court.. But if NRA, GOA, SAF got behind and financed a lawsuit challenging infringing laws, I think they would have a chance with the current court make-up.
It was 1986 FOPA that outright banned automatics (with grandfather exceptions) much to my chagrin. I was just out of college and certainly didn't have the finances to have a automatic before it went into effect.
