On a relatined point, has this ever been overturned:
If you scroll down to "THESECOND AMENDMENT IN THE COURTS" at
http://www.handguncontrol.org/facts/ib/second.asp
You'll find:
==+==
"Since Miller, the Supreme Court has addressed the Second Amendment twice
more, upholding New Jersey’s strict gun control law in 1969 and upholding
the federal law banning felons from possessing guns in 1980. Furthermore,
twice -- in 1965 and 1990 -- the Supreme Court has held that the term
"well-regulated militia" refers to the National Guard."
