For those who may not be familiar, the Heller court interpreted Miller to mean the types of weapons that people would normally have at home for lawful purposes (that they would bring with them for militia service), not military weapons in any strict sense.
Nevertheless, it seems this court has overreached in declaring a semiautomatic rifle to be outside of the reach of the Second Amendment. There are conservatively tens of millions of these in private hands, and they share performance characteristics that are identical to perhaps a hundred million weapons that are in common use in law-abiding hands for a variety of lawful purposes.
