# United States v. Miller (307 U.S. 174)

United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939), was the first Supreme Court of the United States decision to directly address the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Miller is a controversial decision in the ongoing American gun politics debate, as both sides claim that it supports their position. Warning: template has been deprecated.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Arkansas
No. 696. Argued: Mar. 30, 1939 --- Decided: May 15, 1939
The National Firearms Act, as applied to one indicted for transporting in interstate commerce a 12-gauge shotgun with a barrel less than 18 inches long, without having registered it and without having in his possession a stamp-affixed written order for it, as required by the Act, held:
1. Not unconstitutional as an invasion of the reserved powers of the States. Citing Sonzinsky v. United States, 300 U.S. 506, and Narcotic Act cases. P. 177.
2. Not violative of the Second Amendment of the Federal Constitution. P. 178.
The Court can not take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia; and therefore can not say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon.
26 F. Supp. 1002, reversed.

United States v. Mills' Heirs
This is an appeal from a decree of the superior court of East Florida, confirming a land claim.
It differs only from the case of the United States v. Z. Kingsley, decided by the Court at this term; in this: that the conditions upon which the appellee was to have a property in the land petitioned for, was limited to performance within six months from the date of the governor's decree. It was not performed. Nor was any attempt made to perform it by the appellee in his life-time, or by his representatives after his death. No sufficient cause for non-performance is shown within the time limited, nor afterwards; to bring it within those rules of justice and equity, which this Court has said shall be applied in its construction of the 8th article of the treaty of February, 1819, with Spain; on its consideration of grants made upon condition. For the reasons stated in the case of Kingsley, the Court is of opinion that the decree of the court below in this case, should be reversed, and it was ordered accordingly.
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record from the superior court for the district of East Florida, and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof, it is the opinion of this Court, that the petitioner has not fulfilled the condition of the grant; and that, therefore, the grant or concession is null and void; and that the petitioner has no right or title to the land. Whereupon, it is now here decreed and ordered by this Court, that the decree of the said superior court, in this cause, be, and the same is hereby reversed and annulled; and that this cause be, and the same is hereby remanded to the said superior court, with directions to enter a decree in conformity to the opinion of this Court.

Absent. TODD, J.
THIS was a case certified from the Circuit Court for the district of Vermont, the opinions of the judges of which Court were opposed.
Barber was indicted, 'for that he being a citizen of the United States, and inhabiting the same, with force and arms, at,' &c. 'did attempt to transport over land thirty head of fat cattle which were then and there articles of provision and munitions of war, and were all of the value of 300 dollars, from a place in the United States, to wit: from Berkshire, in the said district of Vermont, to a place in the province of Lower Canada, to wit: to St. Armons, in the province aforesaid, contrary to the form, force and effect of the statute of the United States, in such case made and provided,' &c. There was another count in which he was charged with the actual transportation of them. After a verdict against him, he obtained a rule to shew cause why judgment should not be arrested, because fat cattle were neither provisions nor munitions of war within the meaning of the act of congress, entitled 'an act to prohibit American vessels from proceeding to or trading with the enemies of the United States, and for other purposes' or any other act of congress.
By the second section of the act referred to, which was approved on the 6th of July, 1812, vol. 11, p. 300, it is enacted, 'that if any citizen of the United States, or person inhabiting the same, shall transport or attempt to transport, over land, or otherwise,' 'naval or military stores, arms or the munitions of war, or any article of provision, from any place of the United States, to any place in Upper or Lower Canada, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick,' 'the person or persons aiding or privy to the same shall' 'be considered as guilty of a misdemeanor, and be liable to be fined in a sum not exceeding five hundred dollars, and imprisoned for a term not exceeding six months, in the discretion of the Court.'
This Court ordered it to be certified to the Circuit Court, that it is the opinion of this Court that fat cattle are provisions, or munitions of war, within the true intent and meaning of the act, entitled 'an act to prohibit American vessels from proceeding to or trading with the enemies of the United States, and for other purposes.'
