Didn't the SCOTUS decision in the 1934 Miller case set precedence that the 2nd protected arms in current employ by military/militia? I think that it goes without saying, and one can fairly assume, that applies to ammunition feeding devices as well. Then again, most gun related regulations passed since have violated this precedence in one way or another (IE: M4A1, technically, according to the 1934 SCOTUS decision, is legal and protected by the 2nd).

Don't read too to much into Miller. It was somewhat effectively neutered by Heller. "Miller stands only for the proposition that the Second Amendment right, whatever its nature, extends only to certain types of weapons"

Basically saying that the NFA didn't violate the 2nd amendment since the arms regulated under the NFA aren't protected by the 2A...

My note above still stands though -- when making a complaint throw everything in there.

Anyone else here at the Freedom Financial Expo center for the "Colorado Assault on the 2nd Amendment" rally?

Is there site that follows the progress of the suit? All I've heard is that it was filed and more sheriffs have signed on since. When might we see some action?

I was there, of course I don't know who's who around the forum. Maybe I'm on team with some of the forum members...

It's called sarcasm sir. Learn it, love it, live it (on this forum).

You lost me at the end there. Could you please be more specific? Sometimes I'm slow so go ahead and spell it right out.
