I’m reading through the Senate’s Report on the 1968 Omnibus Crime Act. One part of this law purported to set aside Miranda in federal criminal cases. (This was held invalid by the Court in 2000). Another portion imposed various gun control measures. Here was the Report’s punchline about the 2nd Amendment:
“It is clear, for example, that a State law prohibiting the carrying of revolvers without a license, or forbidding possession of concealed weapons, does not violate either the Federal or that State’s constitution. And it is clear that no body of citizens other than the organized State militia, or other military organization provided for by law, may be said to have a constitutional right to bear arms.”
