Not in a recent case. They were clear that military weapons are protected in US v Miller back in the 1930s, but that case also contained elements of the Collective Rights interpretation. That case is old enough and elements of it have been put in question by recent cases that it is worthy of review by a modern court. I'd spurn the modern courts as political, as stretching the reading of the text and intent of the authors, but US v Miller was no less political.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
