In Miller, we determined that the Second Amendment did not guarantee a citizen's right to possess a sawed off shotgun because that weapon had not been shown to be "ordinary military equipment" that could "contribute to the common defense."
I've never seen that! Holy Moly Batman, there it is. Ordinary military equipment. But perhaps not dangerous and unusual military equipment. I'm not saying Joe the plumber gets to have a shoulder-fired rocket launcher, but maybe it means our AR's and AK's are safe.

I have a feeling that one reason post Heller that we may not see an AWB is because those who want it may know that it could blow up in their face. Kinda like the flip-side of the NRA failing to support Heller at first because of a plausible fear that it could be a disaster.
