.No, that is specifically cited in the opinion of the court as being invalid..This is just simpler for public policy purposes: a Class of Arms meant for Individuals of the People who are considered not specifically connected with militia service, well regulated..That would be a Class of Arms meant for Individuals of the People who are considered not specifically connected with militia service, well regulated.
danielpalos: That would be a Class of Arms meant for Individuals ...
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
nothing in the amendment precludes the defining by law as the Arms made available for the " right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed " as being - bolt or lever action, 6 round maximum non detachable magazine.
Blueslegend: Do you know what kind of nasty ass dangerous weapons they had in the 1700's when the 2nd amendment was written? If we had those weapons today gun grabbers would freak out and start foaming at the mouth.
let them foam ...
and so, the technology / performance capability as a comparable need is a part of the amendment per regulation and not for its availability.

not a "class" of Arms, but the only Arms available to all people including law enforcement with only a strict military exclusion - is Constitutional.
.
"Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment . We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, 849 (1997) , and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S. 27, 35–36 (2001) , the Second Amendment extends, prima facie,to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding."
That is how asinine that particular statement is - the court blankly states it is bordering on frivolous.
to all instruments that constitute bearable arms
restricting firearms to a period is not the same as: that constitute firearms - the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
as defined as: bolt or lever action, 6 round maximum non detachable magazine - for Firearms. just as any other Arm may be defined.

What are you getting at?
The SCOTUS directly stated it was not constitutional to apply the second only to weapons of any specific period and that the right clearly applied to modern forms of arms.
If your claim is that it would be constitutional to control weapons based on a period of time then you would be blatantly violating that ruling.
