My state's laws are such that it didn't open many doors for me. But I did get some cheap pistol mags from an out-of-state shooter who is replacing them with high-caps.

Has there ever been a big SCOTUS decision on the 2nd? I'm sorry and I know I'm just a hillbilly, but I see all this stuff as a driect violation of the 2nd Amendment. I don't see how it can not be.

Last big one was Miller vs. U.S. back in the 1930s.
Bottom line was that Miller was convicted of possession of an untaxed sawed off shotgun, and in an argument where he had no representation, the SCOTUS ruled in favor of his conviction in a lower court of violating the NFA of 1934.
Their ruling seemed to have been primarily based on the fact that a sawed off shotgun was not a suitable military weapon, and was therefore not protected by the 2nd Amendment. I guess that if he had been packing an untaxed BAR instead, he would have been GTG.
To my knowledge, they have not examined a broad 2nd Amendment case since then.
I am sure that one of our resident lawyers will be by to correct any errors or omissions shortly.

Seriously though. I have a schedule of purchases that the twilite is going to help me with. After the pistol this year I'm looking into a M4 style rifle. Haven't decided if I want it complete or to build it myself. I think I'd enjoy it more if I built it.
I got some Hi Cap Glock 17 Mags and plan on getting some for the SVI. Also planning on a DSA Para FAL and Maybe a VEPR AK when they come out w/ the Galil type Folding Stock in a Month or So.
