I am not sure the Court has articulated a "danger scale" for weapons and it appears that is the province of legislatures to decide that.
Correct, they have not. That's me talking, trying to deduce what's left to be protected if dangerous and unusual weapons are not protected. They are all dangerous and of course, that's the POINT of a weapon.

Then, of course I assert that the militia that the 2A talks about exists no more but that is probably another thread.
I don't know if it has to be another thread. The question has a relationship to the questions ask here. Certainly the actual implementation of the Militia is not commonplace, but it does exist. Here's one example:

But whether it is utilized or not, isn't it a defined body of citizens that, if largely theoretical in present practice, has a right to mobilize to act as either an auxiliary security force or as final bulwark against future tyranny? It's mention in the constitution seems to give it credibility as a concept.
