I understand the thought but it does not say in common use by civilians it says in common use. So the military M4 and the M249 is in common use around the world but it will take time to take the laws to court and defeat them.There is nothing in 2A, the Federalist Papers, or any of the writings of the founders that allude to guns needing to be in common use to be protected. That standard...as near as I can tell...was completely made up by a group of nine unelected lawyers in Washington D.C. And the problem with it is, how is gun technology ever supposed to advance if guns need to be in "common use" to be protected?
Precisely my thoughts. Thank you!I'm all for Bruen trickling down as we all know most of these crazy decisions are patently and blatantly unconstitutional. It's about damn time. But I can't help but feel that the "common use" standard is going to bite us in the butt one day.

Because at some point, we will FINALLY get the phased plasma rifle...the one in the 40 watt range...But the leftists will ban it claiming we'll a) shoot our eyes out, and b) that it's an "uncommon," and therefore, double super dangerous weapon that should be banned.
You mean the same way short-barreled shotguns were commonly used in trench warfare pre 1935?I understand the thought but it does not say in common use by civilians it says in common use.

The way I see it it will be the down fall of the NFA as there was no restrictions on these weapons until 1986. Yes in 34 they taxed them but not banned them so they are out there in common use and the government was the one who banned them or they would be even more in common use. That was also determined a NO-NO.
We will see how it plays out.
Yes but even then most trench guns where 18 in at the time.You mean the same way short-barreled shotguns were commonly used in trench warfare pre 1935?
First time I ever heard about Miller after the first court appearance.Short-barreled shotgun NFA authorization was challenged, and would perhaps have been nullified. See United States v. Miller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Miller
Neither the defendants nor their legal counsel appeared at the Supreme Court. A lack of financial support and procedural irregularities prevented counsel from traveling.[4]
Miller was found shot to death in April, before the decision had been rendered.
