I am not sure Heller said that. Certainly not in any way you could have this right to assert against as an individual not in a militia.

I read Heller and especially the oral argument with Alan Gura that FA will be considered both dangerous and unusual and not in common use and all existing laws regulating them upheld.

In many states I am not sure you could even drive such a thing on public roads. So, maybe we will keep the FA weapons in the armories of the Organized Militia, the National Guard? You can draw them when TEOTWAWKI occurs!
