I wish I could share the enthusiasm for the ruling by this particular court. It is a nice victory and I'm glad of it. But until the Supreme Court gets off their cowardly craven ass and addresses the 2nd Amendment (not just one particular case) the leftist on all the lower courts will continue to pick and choose what parts of The Bill of Rights they don't want enforced.

The good news is that SCOTUS has been terrified of reviewing 2nd Amendment decisions for decades (since the abhorrent US v Miller, aprx 75 years ago, which basically stated that shotguns are not military weapons, that was argued without the defendant or his counsel, and which saw the Court go beyond what the prosecutor asked for to make their anti-2A edict).

The most likely outcome is that they refuse to review this one... making it a win for the good guys.

But until the Supreme Court gets off their cowardly craven ass and addresses the 2nd Amendment (not just one particular case)

The Surpreme Court will deal with it one particular case at a time. That's the way they work. This case is unusual, for a second amendment case, in that the laws were allowed to be challenged without someone violating them and risking prision, and lifetime loss of their RKBA (not that DC residents had much left, but they could always move out of the District).

If the Supreme Court should hear an appeal by the DC government (want to bet all the gun grabbers are urging them behind the scenes not to appeal?), and uphold the ruling, then that ruling becomes effective nationwide. Thus the net gun control law going to court need not go all the way to Supreme Court, since the District court will be bound by the SC's decision. State laws are an exception to that, since it will first have to be established, by the Supreme Court, that the second amendment applies against state action as well. Since most states have similar RKBA language, and don't enforce it , even though the "militia only" or "states rights" arguments don't logically apply, don't expect positive results on that anytime soon.
