Only the local officials!  An interesting read, but there is one crucial error referring to the SCOTUS Miller decision: "Its position, as written in a 1939 decision, was that the 'keep and bear arms' language of the Second Amendment protected only the right of states to raise armed militias".

The ruling was that a short-barreled shotgun was not shown to be a weapon in common use on the battlefield.  Of course it was so used, but Miller's counsel did not show up to argue the point.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Miller
