I don't have the language handy, but Heller interpreted Miller substantially changing its meaning, IMO. Because the court found alarming the implication that protection for only military weapons would include FA machine guns, it summarily re-interpreted Miller accordingly. To say the court refused to disturb Miller is not exactly correct. They, in fact, turned 'in common use for military purposes' into 'in common use for civilian purposes'.
