I can't answer your California law review question, but I'm struck with how representative Mr. Cornell's writings are of his side of the debate. Why would he quote an obscure law review observation without giving a complete reference? And, why do people on that side think they can get away with that practice.
The proper response to such behavior is to contact him and ask him for the reference. It does seem that Cornell'a one statement "Rather than apply the orthodox interpretation of Miller, the Parker court turned to a more recent case, U.S. v. Emerson" shows everything about his view of the law. I may be mistaken, but he seems to be objecting that Parker didn't follow the view of the law held by Cornell and instead switched to a new view. Cornell's claim might be taken more seriously if he gave some supporting references for that point of view and wrote an analysis piece instead of one intended to inflame with assertions about "flame throwers, bazookas, and Stinger missiles" and a piece that didn't make nonsense claims that the militia of 1790 was well regulated, but is not well-regulated today.
