All of these are post Heller, how do they challenge Heller?
I am not asking as a rabid "gun militant", it is an honest question. From the best I can tell (as a layman who never stayed in a Holiday Inn Express) the defense lawyers also tried to make 4A and 14A cases out of them as well.
Regardless of what the founders intended or the judges' views, all of those cases were guaranteed losses. Like Miller, they were not the kind of people neither one of us want to have access to guns. No judge is going to be on the front page news as the guy that ruled that drug dealers, felons, minors, and wife beaters should be able to legally buy a gun. If I were one of the judges, I would rule the same way.
before I get accused of being anti-intellectual or a conspiracy nut:
