SCOTUS Did Not rule that, although Scalia insinuated such in dicta that is not a ruling. In Heller the court ruled that Mr Heller could have a working firearm in his home, many liberals then jump on the misguided notion that a positive decision on one question is a negative for everything else that they wanted in gun control. In dicta it notes that self defense is a basic human right and that weapons in common use are protected. Since we have had the NFA since 1934 and the 1986 law in affect for so long how can those effected weapons be in common use, chicken v egg.
