You guys still post links that you think support your argument yet obviously haven't bothered to read.
The reason Heller was turned away was because he didn't bother to bring in his handgun to the police department, so it could be inspected and tested as per the registration process.

you're not keeping up. Heller did get his 9 shot .22 revolver registered but DC has made any semi-automatic illegal by defining them as machineguns, therefore heller has been denied registration of his 7 shot browning 1911.

read the scotus opinion again. a total ban on a class of firearms is unconstitutional. Weapons in common use are constitutionally protected. Since the 1911 is a common use weapon used by most all of our military forces, it would be hard to accept that they could be denied constitutional protection.
