Armed citizen saves life of Police officer

You haven't.

Heller 1(F) gives SCOTUS the right to regulate gun ownership and ban unusual and dangerous weapons.

Here is an interesting discussion on why lefties, if they think about it, should be sending bouquets to Justice Scalia on Constitution Day. Notice one of those worried about Heller is Larry Pratt.

You are lying I most certainly have
Still waiting on your proof that heller overrides Miller?
 
And bigderp :eusa_liar:

I posted it above in #102 where it discusses how liberals love Scalia's whittling down of Miller in Heller.
 
Don't have to because it is an interp of your hero, Scalia, and his writing. And you have posted nothing to support your assertion.

Wrong you made a claim that heller over ruled Miller, what court document specially says that

Heller 1(F) (this is common knowledge) recognizes SCOTUS can regulate gun ownership and ban unusual and dangerous weapons, and that is what the article refers to.

Back to the Keller feller eh?

biggie, I have to ask; did you get your meds adjusted? Your responses don't read like spittle is flying all over your screen when you type now.
Good for us eh? Or you just getting tired. It's been a long battle, hasn't it?
The end is near though. Not enough guilt to overcome the gun nuts money and influence.
I am not surprised. When nothing happened on legislation in the first 30 days after the killing in Con., I pretty much knew nothing would change.
And it won't. Hell us Americans only pull out guns and shoot each other a few hundred times a day.
What's the problem. Right?

Asking you What court of law is Wikipedia from? is not giving any opinion just asking you for a court document to support your claim.
 
The relevant language from Heller:

We may as well consider at this point (for we will have
to consider eventually) what types of weapons Miller
permits. Read in isolation, Miller’s phrase “part of ordinary
military equipment” could mean that only those
weapons useful in warfare are protected. That would be a
startling reading of the opinion, since it would mean that
the National Firearms Act’s restrictions on machineguns
(not challenged in Miller) might be unconstitutional,
machineguns being useful in warfare in 1939. We think
that Miller’s “ordinary military equipment” language must
be read in tandem with what comes after: “[O]rdinarily
when called for [militia] service [able-bodied] men were
expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves
and of the kind in common use at the time.” 307 U. S., at
179. The traditional militia was formed from a pool of
men bringing arms “in common use at the time” for lawful
purposes like self-defense. “In the colonial and revolutionary
war era, [small-arms] weapons used by militiamen
and weapons used in defense of person and home were one
and the same.” State v. Kessler, 289 Ore. 359, 368, 614
P. 2d 94, 98 (1980) (citing G. Neumann, Swords and
Blades of the American Revolution 6–15, 252–254 (1973)).
Indeed, that is precisely the way in which the SecondAmendment’s operative clause furthers the purpose announced
in its preface. We therefore read Miller to say
only that the Second Amendment does not protect those
weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens
for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns.
That accords with the historical understanding of the
scope of the right, see Part III, infra.

You are trolling now and reported.

How am I trolling?
You made a claim and have yet too support that claim
Wiki is not court documents, and opinion piece is not court documents, and nothing from heller supports your claim that heller over ruled Miller.
When you make a claim you should support with a valid source it goes against board rules when you don't.
