The key point being ducked is that the phrase “in common use at the time” was in reference to the militia component of the Second Amendment, and referred to the expectation that citizen soldiers would muster bearing arms suitable to confront and prevail against professional military forces. Nothing with the passage of time has changed that, except through the deliberate indifference of the government in discharging its duties ensuring that which was once commonly understood as “being necessary to the security of a free State.” [More]If they succeed, not only will they "legally" be able to deny 19th Century technology to We the People, but forget any future developments, which won't be "in common use at the time" by any but enforcers for the overlords.
UPDATE: See similar case in Maryland.
