In ''United States v. Miller'', 307 U.S. 174 (1939), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] reversed the District Court's invalidation of the National Firearms Act, enacted in 1934. The Court held that the [[Second Amendment]] did not guarantee a citizen's right to possess a sawed-off shotgun because that weapon had not been shown to be "ordinary military equipment" that could "contribute to the common defense." ''Id.'' at 178.
The Court did not, however, attempt to define, or otherwise construe, the substantive right protected by the [[Second Amendment]].
The Court did not address this issue again prior to 2008.
