Yes!  Here are some of the most significant cases that have helped to define the extent of the Second Amendment's application:
1. United States v. Miller (1939): In this case, the Supreme Court upheld the National Firearms Act of 1934, which imposed a tax on the transfer of certain types of firearms, such as sawed-off shotguns. The Court ruled that the Second Amendment does not protect weapons that are not related to maintaining a well-regulated militia.
2. District of Columbia v. Heller (2008): This landmark decision clarified that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to possess firearms, unconnected with service in a militia, for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense within the home. The Court struck down the District of Columbia's strict handgun ban as unconstitutional.
3. McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010): In this case, the Court ruled that the Second Amendment is applicable to state and local governments through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This decision effectively extended the individual right to keep and bear arms recognized in Heller to all states and local governments, invalidating Chicago's strict handgun ban in the process.
4. Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016): The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Second Amendment extends to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those not in existence at the time of the founding. In this case, the Court overturned a Massachusetts law that prohibited the possession of stun guns.
