The key to understanding the flawed findings of Miller is the court's view that a sawed-off shotgun having no military utility precluded its protection under the Second Amendment, which implies that those that do have military utility are protected under Miller."The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon."
United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939)
Yet now 14" rifle barrels are now standard on military rifles but the NFA standard 16" hasn't changed. It's like everybody forgot about this case.
