Supreme court opinion on gun ownership was that it could be far more restricted (and it was in many cases!) until Heller.

That only started with Miller, which was about 100 years ago and also a pretty good example of justice not being served.

Miller was dead by the time his case was decided, nobody argued his side, and the courts argument was was dishonest at best.
